[RC] [Guest] Zoom Zoom/ lost horses - Ridecamp ModeratorTracy Cann EBBYPONY@xxxxxxxThis story and others has also hit me very hard and really made me think. Someone earlier talked about tracking devices from "hunting dog supply companies". I guess hunters have been losing their dogs as long as we have been losing horses. This is what I found out. At www.gundogsupply.com the cheapest (and seems the most versatile) tracking system is the Innotec RD-400. It's $459.95 and comes with one collar (additional collars $140.00 each) that would be easy to mount somehow on the back of a saddle. At www.huntingdogsupplies.net the same system comes with 2 collars and is $580.00. I am really starting to think about this. It seems that most of the horses lost are eventually found dead not far from where they were last seen. These tracking devices have a 7 mile range in ideal conditions, much less I'm sure in hills and woods but what an advantage when you're looking for your lost horse. Maybe we could split the cost with riding buddies? You only need one tracking device, just more than one collar. Anyway, just a thought.
