Mobiles?....Following Accidents Happen Thread

[diamonddogs]

I usually ride with mine in either a coat or gillet pocket but sometimes in my johd pocket. keep meaning to get one of those armband thingys

re the ICE I was just thinking the other day about ways of giving such instructions should horse and I part company out hacking and I thought a baggage label attached to saddle with instructions like:

'If this horse is found with no rider in sight, please call >>insert owner phone no<< and if no answer after 3 attempts, please call emergency services and next of kin >>insert next of kin phone no<<. If this horse is injured please call vet >>> insert vet name and no<<<'

or something along those lines... just thought that anyone 'unhorsey' would recognise a baggage label as a means of identification... dog tags are often hard to spot and not big enough for detail...

Fantastic idea - I've just ordered one of these (the blue heart if anyone's interested ). Very tacky but unmissable, and you only need it on when you go out, so you wouldn't need to embarrass your horse around the yard.

I'll keep the dog tags on my saddle, bridles and rugs, but the label's much more noticeable, and I like the idea of all those numbers in the holder.

I either put my phone in my jodphur pocket or i have a phone carrier which can attach on to almost anything or sometimes i might wear a bum bag

Ooh, the baggage label type thing is a really good idea! Need to get some dog tags for bridles etc too (probably helpful too if horse looses bridle somehow?!)
