This Horse Walker Risk Assessment Pack
includes two detailed and mostly completed risk assessments, designed to help you protect both staff and horses during the use and maintenance of horse walker equipment.
Horse walkers are commonly used to exercise recovering, injured, or convalescing horses
in equestrian centres, stables, and rehabilitation facilities. While essential, they pose serious risks that must be properly managed.
Included in this pack:
✅ Risk Assessment 1: Horse Walker Use Focuses on the safe daily operation of horse walkers. Identifies hazards such as entrapment, crush injuries, electrical risks, and slip/trip hazards. It outlines necessary control measures and PPE
to protect grooms and horses alike.
✅ Risk Assessment 2: Horse Walker Maintenance Covers routine maintenance tasks
such as greasing the central bearing, removing weeds, cleaning the interior, and conducting basic inspections. Hazards assessed include electrical exposure, entrapment, manual handling, and working in confined or obstructed areas.
These editable documents are ready for use in professional stables, training yards, and rehabilitation centres. Both risk assessments can be adapted to your specific working environment, equipment type, and operational needs.
