Every Horse
At best, we are still holding our horse or we can catch him quickly with a minimum of fuss or worry.
At worse, we are injured or unconscious and our horse has run away frightened, lost and a hazard to others.
From the horses mouth!
Debbie Percy of Hampshire shares her experience:
"In December 2004 I was thrown from my horse onto a main road while out riding. I was knocked unconscious and my horse ran down the main road loose and frightened amongst the Sunday traffic. Our story had a happy ending - we were re-united and my bruises healed. Today, I never ride out without both myself and my horse wearing an ICEBand. It is a very reassuring feeling knowing that emergency contact numbers are easily visible and the right help can be raised quickly.
Chris Odell of Berkshire commented:
Driving home from work one evening, I came across a loose horse in a country lane. I stopped the car, and caught the horse. That was the easy bit, I soon realised that I had no idea what to do next as I had no means of knowing where the horse came from or whom to call. An identification band on the horse such as an ICEBand would have meant I had a number to phone and the horse could have been quickly and safely returned home.
