[RC] [RC]?? Hurt Riders/Where is their trailer? - Sky Ranch
At NATRC rides, the check-in packet includes a
number card for the rider's trailer, as well as a number tag or ribbon to
attach to the horse's halter and/or bridle. This way, if your horse gets
loose at any time during the weekend, they know where to take it, and who it
belongs to. The reason the trailers get the rider number
attached, of course, is that the horsemanship judge goes around and checks the
'stabling conditions' of the horse, making sure it's safely tied, hay and water
available, etc., but it also is an easy way to identify
rider/trailer/horse.
It seems like this would be a good idea for
endurance rides, to just include an index card with the rider number on it, to
attach (I use duct tape) to the back of the trailer. Without baling twine
and duct tape, I'd be lost!
