[janet68]

No not at all you are sure to be seen,saying this i never ride in high vis but should do really

 

[curio]

nope you can never have too much hi viz
a driver will still try to say he didnt see you

 

[michelleice]

next thing is boots for ben dont think i can put anymore hi viz after that lol

 

[mrgoop]

Never can have too much can you??
At least everyone will see you, even those who live on the moon

 

[Spudlet]

No such thing as too much high viz

But you could def get some more on there - leg wraps for horses and human beans next on the agenda, and maybe some flashing lights

 

[Geraldine]

Lovely ponies!!! OH says 'you can never have too much hi viz' (he takes the pee out of me for being on this forum but always reads the posts!!!).

 

[ester]

poor ben is rather noticeable in his bed get up too

 

[michelleice]

lol he aint complaining keeps him warm and i cant resist lol he suits red

 

[Ebenezer_Scrooge]

No, it looks good to me. What is that on his tail? I have been looking for something like that preferably with reflective strips on that doesn't need to be attached to rug.

As others have said, no such thing as too much hi-viz. Aim to match the Oz barrier reef and the great wall of China: both can be seen from outer space lol x

 

[Tharg]

There can never be too much.

Does the tail guard stay up alright?

 

[jesterfaerie]

You can never have too much reflective gear on. I wear almost as much as that when I go out with my lad, better safe than sorry!
Come back and ask again when you have the gloves, trousers, boots, and flashing lights

 

[michelleice]

no i have to use a tail bandage to keep it in place as it just slips off other wise

 

[michelleice]

i was looking at gloves lol, and boots but i think Ben would freak at flashing lights
i have
exercise sheet
tail guard
martingale
hat band
bridal kit
jacket
home made stirrup covers

another 1

All looks good to me, well done for showing some common sense.

Since being hit by a car last weekend (how we escaped with minor cuts I shall never know) and whilst wearing hi-viz anyway, we've adopted the Battenburg cake look. I was told that people needed sunglasses to look at us!

 

[Ranyhyn]

You two look fabulous. Why anyone would not wear hi-viz when it would give their horse 3 seconds more chance to live in the case of an accident, I do not know.

 

[katie_and_toto]

That's what me and Toto look like when we hack

Good for you!

 

[lensmith7]

Nope not at all. I have this plus leg wraps on the off side legs.

You can never have too much Hi Viz

 

[Vicki1986]

they do little hi viz 'hats' now for horses, with ear holes, they look quite good.

 

[Abbeygale]

You still have plenty of space for more hi viz on there!!!

Your legs, his legs...

I brought a rockfish riders gilet and over trousers at the weekend - so I am well pinked up with my hi viz now!!

 

[brighthair]

better to look like a Christmas tree - then if god forbid anything did happen - a driver couldn't say they didn't see you

 

[Depp_by_Chocolate]

I use the same plus leg wraps, better to be seen!

Absolutely perfect as you are giving other road users every opportunity to see you. The long sleeved top is very sensible as other road users will be able to see your hand signals.

Don't forget to take your BHS Road Safety Course and exam as this will provide you with additional skills for riding out on the roads.
