Horse Locata - Safety Idea

[Bettyboo222]

Has anyone else used this company ? I got mine through today and I love it I got the twin pack (rider and horse) with the idea of me being able to use it whilst on my bike as well.

Anyone who doesn't know what I am talking about they can read more info here

but in summary it is a little puch that you put on your arm and another one that you put on the saddle. They contain all your contact details and the horses owners details along with first aid instructions.

I think it is a brilliant idea and perhaps an idea for a chiristmas present to yourself if you are going to be riding excitable horses

Managed to get a picture of me wearing it whilst on my bike but non of me wearing it whilst riding

Yes, hubby and I have them attached to our saddles in case we ever part company from either horse out on a hack or on the beach or somewhere!

I think they are a brilliant idea

I used a smal dogs tag with contact numbers on attached to d ring on my saddle in case my horse decides to ditch me and do one..!!

Not sure I like the look of them (not that that matters!) but they are a great idea and I much prefer that the info is immediately there to hand rather than having to ring a call centre with an ID number

I got mine through the other day. Found them really good, better than (i can't remember the name) but the tags which you have to pay however much a year to keep you on the system.

I can't fit mine on my arm, I have ridiculously skinny arms so the tape would go around about 3 times, wore it on my thigh, it slipped down a couple of times. I think they are really good and cheap considering!!

I have dog tags on my saddle and bridles

Yep got mine!

Loads of people are using them for endurance - far better than those stickers which fall off or the rubber band with the label! Always fall off!!!

I got one to use for TREC. I keep it on all the time now. If we get seperated/have an accident out hacking loads of contact details are in it including my vet & a contact who could come & collect my horse.

The ones on that website are adjustable I had that same problem with phone holders ect

Like others have mentioned I have 'dog tags' with telephone number etc attached to the saddle. They are far cheaper & do the job.

Same here, a very cheap way of carrying id on your horse if you do part company.
Another safety thing i do is.....
As i carry my iphone out on all rides, i have left detailed instructions at home of how to access my FIND MY MOBILE on the internet. If i am ever lost, anyone can log on, and the GPS on the phone will show within a few yards on a satellite or OS map where my phone is (and me obviously!)
