Oh
wow Nancy, that is so good that you had your cell phone with you. I
think you and Cindy are very right about the importance of having the
cell phone ON the rider, not the horse. I wished that I had a cell
phone ON me, instead of in my saddlepack when my horse dumped me and
ran home (we were riding alone). I was fine, but I wanted to call to
tell the people at the stable not to worry when they see a riderless
horse blasting down to the barn. :) Instead, when I got there, people
were already out looking for me- and so I had to go run after them too.
It wasn't a big emergency, but it made me realize that it could have
been if I was hurt and by myself. I'm one of those people who don't
like things (like fanny packs) tied around my waist while riding. Thanks
Dabney for letting me know about the velcro phone holders. Long Riders
Gear has some nice-looking packs and safety gear, including an ankle
pack for those
