Common sense

A local equestrian accident this past week that could have been MUCH uglier underscored the importance of taking your phone, and keeping it on your person, when you're out riding alone. Should you get bucked off, a phone that's in a case on your saddle won't do you much good as your horse gallops away. Yes, they'll be able to track down the horse via GPS, but that'll be cold comfort if you're lying there injured in some remote field!
