Reflective tape will bond farely well to a clean blanket. I also use it on my hoof boots sometimes, especially during hunting season.

Hello MSAR Riders,?



Can anyone give me some advice regarding what you'd recommend to put on a horse to make it more visible in the woods during a SAR deployment? I will be attending a MSAR weekend in upper Minnesota in October and would like to have a reflective horse blanket or sheet that I can put on my horse both for visual protection and just as an additional precaution in case he gets loose. I've had to help people look for horses in unfamiliar areas before, and it would have been a lot easier to see them if they had a bright blanket on. This would be to put on him when he is in a temporary pen that I'll set up. ?I can't seem to find anything in either glow or reflective material on the Internet.








Thanks in advance,?

I have seen bright hunter orange English style pads in use. Personally I use
orange saddle bags and an electric fence when he is in corral. If you
blanket you can add a mesh highway vest on top or order your blankets in
bright orange.  Nylon halters are also available in various colors and less
likely to be left behind by a loose horse. A yellow quarter sheet is also
available but may be special order.

Thanks, Irv. I use the reflective tack when we're working, but I would like to do is also have something to put on my gelding when he's at camp overnight. I don't want it to be warm necessarily, just something visual, like a sheet or even a fly sheet, in case there are hunters in the area or he gets away in unfamiliar woods. Though, to be honest, he stays pretty close to where we are.



Emily
