ride bring-alongs

["Sweaney" <sweaney@lightspeed.net>]

#1 Thing I carry:

Clipped to my horse's bridle is a tag with her name on it.  My phone number and city and state are also listed.  She threw me in the hills a year ago and ran off.  A horse person grabbed her on the other side of the highway and was able to phone my house and leave a message.

 

Snugpax:

two water bottles

first aid kit [bandaids, tape, tweezers, guaze, cough drop, tylenol, visine, alcohol wipes, etc.]

a pencil and paper with an I.D. card in a ziploc bag

whistle

glow stick

rain poncho

collapsible hoof pick

swiss army knife

vet wrap

tube of electrolytes

extra people food

sometimes a ziploc full of grain

leather ties are under snugpax for tying rain coat

 

I also carry an easy boot in a bag off to the side

 

Waist Pack:

water bottle

kleenex

lots of food [power bar, fruitios, peanut butter crackers, kudos bar, nutrigrain fruitful bars (those new ones)]

 

Small Pommel Pack:

heart rate monitor is attached

ride card in baggie in a small, zippered compartment on bag

 

Chapstick clipped to dee rings in front

 

O.J. scoop clipped to dee rings in rear

 

 

Gee!  I didn't know I had so much stuff on me!  The truth is though, none of this is that heavy.  It does add weight, but I try to keep small quantities of each item.
