Most major sports stores carry a variety of "ditty
bags" to carry cards in. Adidas (sp?) makes a nifty little see through, fold up
wallet type bag with a clip. It was about $2.99. I clip in on my saddle,
card stays dry and everyone is happy.
Also, Sporttack carries a bag to hang around your
neck that can hold a card, Chapstick and even a few cassettes for the walkman.
It was about $10-12.99 a few years ago. There is really no reason to lose a card
or let it get ruined. I do believe that is the riders
responsibility.
I do like the idea of leaving it back at camp until
you come into the vet check. However, I did that one time and couldn't find it
for the first vet check. I was told if I couldn't prove my horse was vetted in,
I couldn't continue. Luckily, I found it on the front seat of the truck. Won't
do that again.
