*Ride with a mobile phone, fully charged but turned off to avoid spooking the horse. Keep the numbers of the horse yard and a local veterinarian. Keep the phone in its case and clipped to your belt holder or in an ankle case. Do not keep the phone attached to the saddle since the horse may run off.

* You must have a helmet, half chaps, zip up paddock boots, peacock iron safety stirrups, non slip stirrup pads, a non slip girth, a non slip saddle pad, a Booma Rein, a jumping vest, a hit air vest, and an RS-Tor Rider Security Aid. All of this is designed to keep you safe. The air vest goes on over the jumping vest. Both vests will protect your ribs, organs, hips, back, and neck. The Booma Rein prevents you from losing your reins. The RS-Tor will help you get your horse under control and prevent a fatal accident.  The peacock iron safety stirrups, non slip stirrup pads, non slip girth, and non slip saddle pad will prevent you from slipping and protect your feet. Do not wear riding boots with hooks. The hooks will get stuck in the stirrups.
