Our Trail Club just enacted this for the same reason...no one knew who the person was, what rig was his, etc.  Our forms have all the person's information including who to call in an emergency, if they are allergic to anything and where their meds are (bee stings being one case), the description of the rig and truck license number.  Now we know who has what, who to call, and especially who's there with us, etc.

 

Now, I go one step further and have always carried a lamenated card with me.  It has all my emergency contact info on it, rig description, where the horse is boarded (at home now), that I'm allergic to bees and my kit is on me, etc.  This way if anything happens to me, even if I'm with one of my riding buddies they'll know what to do.  For gifts one year, I made cards for all my riding buddies with their info on it so they had them....especially the ones who ride alone.

Realizing that quality volunteers would be attempting to properly care for my horse if I am hurt, I would like to have their efforts not thwarted or delayed by lack of information.
