Yesterday I took my horse on a mini hack. We only went 1/2 a mile or so but I still put leg bands over his boots and his neck strap on. I also wore my hi-viz and a band on my hat.
Even though the yard is on very quiet roads, I always make sure we are visable. I know some of the other liveries don't bother with hi viz and its quite hard to see them, even on a bright day as they are in dark clothing on a dark horse. I know this because I've followed them. When I said I couldn't see them very well they basically said they'd only wear hi viz stuff if it was getting a bit dark!
This to me is total madness!
