Go enjoy the nice weather while it lasts!

The weather is to get very hot again on the weekend.  Be very mindful of your animal's and your hydration.

Kathy's Tid Bits:

Each one of us leaves camp with the intention of having an uneventful ride.  It includes pleasant conversation with a riding buddy or just a quick ride through the forest.

Are you prepared for an unexpected event?

What is the one item you always have while riding? 

I am going to guess that most everyone feels their cell phone is the best tool in the box.  It sure would be handy to make that 911 call if needed.  

But what if you are bleeding?  What if you come off your animal and break an arm, leg, ankle, -you get the picture. Let's just say your cell phone isn't working for whatever reason.  Now what?

No, it is not easy to pack a first aid kit, because, let's face it, nothing is going to happen. Right??

What about a simple roll of Vet Wrap?  Try to make a mental note of all the uses just vet wrap can fix.  A quick wrap for a cut, a way to secure a couple branches for a simple splint, it could even attach a broken rein if you get creative.  I am sure you can come up with other helpful ways to use a roll of vet wrap.  It can easily be attached to your saddle to have handy for any unexpected event.

Friends, let's be safe out there and be helpful to someone else that may need assistance.

Have a safe ride, enjoy your time spent with your animal, and be mindful of fellow riders.

Smile because it looks good on you!!!
