I sing when I go down the trail - and at the
top of my voice some times, during hunting season. And I wear lots of
bright, blazing orange - on my body, on my horse, and I also put orange
ribbons on my dogs.
You can buy orange halters, and put orange ribbons
in your horse's mane and tail. You can put
bells on your horse, or you can sing, and you can wear orange. But it's
still a risk to ride during rifle season. I do it, but it does make me
nervous, I'll admit!
First off, you can live with that knee. I hope.
:)) I have had 2 knee surgeries on the same knee, there is nothing left
in either of them. The point is, that if you keep using them, it will
strengthen them. It has taken me 7 years, but my knee doesn't hurt
anymore. At any distances. I only wish I could say the same for
the back.
Deer season/guns and horses...don't mix. Not here in Alabama
anyway. I stop going to the forrest to ride during hunting season.
It will be the end of Jan. before I am back up there. All the blaze
orange in the world doesn't help when you have some (a few) people in the
woods that shoot first, then look to see what it was. I am just too
scared to risk me or my horses.

I did 2 sat & sun ld rides this summer at White River, it about killed
me. Doc says I'll be needing a "new" knee if I keep this up! Then I'll be
benched for awhile and I'll drive everyone around me bonkers!
Does
anyone ride during gun season, if so, what precautions do you take? I'm
thinking the sun is shining and I'd really like to take off for a while. Is a
hunter orange vest enough? I'll probably stick to the roads and not venture
into the woods.
