MSAR Night lights - Part II
A picture of the mounted light system that I designed and use can be seen at http://www.airscentinghorse.com/parts.htm  This leather maglite holder attaches to the saddle
horn  with a adjustable leather strap with a Velcro break away.  It is than attached to your leg
with either a rubber band or a small Velcro leather strap. It is anchored to the rear of your
saddle by a two ended quick snap. The maglite attaches to the holder with a special clip so
it will not fall out even if held up side down.
 
This system stays in place even a lope. It allows for you to adjust the downward angle that you
desire.  When the light is posititioned in this slightly downward forward angle you do the have
 to worry about blinding your horse, other horses or mounted searchers with the movement
 of your lights.  When this system is combined with a adjustable beam three cell mag lite you
 light up at least a 40 ft. path where you can even see a playing card on flat ground with no
cover out  to the side at distance of at least 20 ft.
 
The holder is reversible so you can attach it on either side of the saddle. When you attach a
holder on each of your saddle it gives you a consistent light source on both sides so your
eyes can naturally scan to the right, left  and forward of your horse.
 
The holder detaches from the saddle in seconds when needed for ground searching. The
adjustable strap that hung around the saddle horn now becomes a shoulder strap. When
carried in this manner it keeps the searchers hands free for moving brush, climbing or note
taking.  It also comes with four attached d-rings and two way belt loops on the back so it
can be attached to yourself, your saddle or your ATV in a variety of ways.
