Hi everyone,

My riding partner is not able to ride very often now, and so I am facing the 
need to ride alone to condition.  I'm having trouble figuring out how to do 
this safely.

My arab is pretty steady now at 12 yr old.  But I'm concerned about being 
out on the trail alone when something goes wrong.  Several years ago when I 
fell off and shattered my shoulder, I also landed on my cell phone and broke 
it.  Luckily, I had a friend with me and she hunted down the rangers, 
untacked my horse and trailered him home while I went to the ER.  I don't 
think I could have managed without her help...I couldn't have even tied my 
horse up to a tree,  I had to hold my broken arm together with my good 
arm...

I have to trailer at least an hour away for trails.  Then I ride where there 
is very little cell phone coverage.

How do you all condition alone?  What do you do to make it safer?
