The pink or orange flagging ribbon on the stirrups
is also a great idea! Also, strips of the orange flagging ribbon can be
attached to the horses mane and tail to add a little more visibility for the
horse.
We sometimes put a jingle bell on the horse when
riding in hunting season. Our trails are shared thorough a National
Grasslands, with hunting, but we have not had much problems. We know the areas
they prefer to hunt, and stay away, and start your rides late morning into
afternoon. Oh, the bell is mostly so if we become parted with said horse, it
can be heard in the woods, and hopefully not mistaken for a deer or really,
really big turkey. I also wrapped my stirrups in bright pink or orange
flagging ribbon. You can buy orange stirrups, but this works.
Many areas have many more problems, so bad many
riders can NOT ride during hunting season
