Re: [RC] Locating Lost Horses - Sarah McIntoshwhat is the range tho? that could be the limiting factor for this idea... sarah mcintosh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aaron Turnage" <ajandcrysta@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2003 1:39 PM Subject: [RC] Locating Lost Horses My grandparents are in their 80's and have a fairly large house with a big garage, yard, and woodshop for my grandpa. Since my grandma hates wandering all over trying to find him (and he's mostly deaf), she makes him wear a doorbell. They bought it at Home Depot or Lowes and it's designed to be a mobile (wireless) unit. It's the ringing unit, about 2" x 2" and has a clip on the back. Grandma then keeps the "button" that you would mount outside your door on the kitchen counter. When she need Grandpa, she pushes the button and the bell rings. It's loud enough for him to hear it and works with a range of several 100 yards and through walls. I imagine this would work for lost horses as well. Just throw the ringing unit in your saddle packs, etc and keep the button (sending) unit on your person. The bell is plenty loud but not so obnoxious a sound to readily startle a horse I imagine. Plus they are already available on the market and very inexpensive.
