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.
ICEBands can help! ICEBands are simple to use low tech road safety bands for horse and rider, showing in case of emergency contact information. ICEBands on you and your horse or pony, will ensure that the right help can be called quickly and easily. |  |
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.
