Good Idea. In fact my wife started putting thos plastic ID tags on our
halter/bridles about 3 years ago. I has my name and phone number on it so should
I become disconnected from my horse on the trail at least the horse will be
identified. Of course identifying me could be another problem, (especially after
he stomps me into the ground)!!!!
Actually that brings up a behavioural trait an old trainer taught me. A horse
almost never wants to run you down. I've come off my horses over the years
plenty of times (helmeted of course) and they always seem to take every effort
to avoid my flying body, or limp frame as the case may be!
