Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Reflective horse (and dog) wear?

Lucy, I have to walk my horse down a road to the indoor 1/2 mile away and since we've almost gotten clipped by cars twice, I've had some experience in this area.  I get the adhesive reflector discs from Pep Boy or other automotive place and just stick them to my horses sheet or blanket.  Country Supply also sells reflective sleeves and velcro strips.  www.countrysupply.com  Also, Running Bear farm sells these wonderful battery operated lights with velcro loops.  I velcro it on Manny's brow strap of his bridle.  Its like having headlights.  Good luck.  Jennifer.
