As the weather has been dull and rainy recently Basil has
mostly been wearing his Hi Vis stuff when we have been hacking out. Unfortunately, we have to ride along several
roads where I keep him, they are relatively quiet but with the low light levels
I like to make sure we are seen.
I thought this picture was good because you can see
how much he stands out in his rug! The
rug is from V-Bandz and I bought it not long after I got Basil. It is waterproof too so if we get caught out
it keeps him dry. The only problem is
that if it is a relatively warm day, or he is feeling particularly silly then
he can get a bit hot under it. The tail
flap makes sure that cars coming from behind see him easily. It has straps that go under the girth straps
both at the top and the bottom, a fillet string and an elasticated strap that
goes under his dock. It feels pretty
secure but does tend to slip sideways a bit.
Basil doesn't seem to be worried when it blows in the wind a bit but as
it is so secure it doesn't move much. I
have been really pleased with it.
The boots I have had for quite a while, I had them for my
first pony so I'm not sure where I got them from, V-Bandz also do something
similar (www.v-bandz.co.uk). I actually have back ones too but Basil
doesn't like having them on and kicks out when he wears them!
I have my own Hi Vis gear too and I definitely feel safer
knowing that the cars can see us from further away which gives them more time
to slow down.
What sort of Hi Vis things do you have for you and your
horse or pony?
