A Police Plea to Riders Hacking alone!

Some very useful points there. I always hack out draped in flourescent anyway and I always take my phone with me when hacking, and most times i tell people where i am going especially if i feel my horse is in 'one of those moods'. I used to write my intended route, time I'd left the yard and my eta back on the white board in the tea room but then thought nobody would notice it! All our family and friends have ICE in our mobiles after I had an email at work about it from a friend.

I am planning to get a disc for my saddle after reading this post although my horse is freezemarked so is easily identifiable.

Thank you - a useful and interesting post.
 
re riding with the mobile switched on. Make sure the horse is ok about it ringing when its in your pocket and you are riding. If the horse bolts and causes an accident when the phone rings it sort of defeats the object.
 
Sorry to be a numpty but do you put the Ice under I in your contacts? Then bring it up onto the screen as an 'important' contact? Years ago we used to use a Dyna marker for the phone numbers and glue them inside the hat, under the saddle and inside the cheek pieces when we went hunting, then we went up to using sticky labels with name address and phone no. on then mobiles arrived and we all sort of stopped doing it.
