I think someone already said glass bottles and cans, but I watch for fox or animal dens that a horse could step through/into and break a leg.  The openings are usually camoflaged pretty well. 

Low hanging limbs and thorny trees like locust are a concern here too.  It is alway good to double-check feet before and after every ride for objects as I once found a locust thorn not far from the frog on one of our horses.  It could have been a permanent or much worse injury.   Dana Snyder SNSO, Shawnee County Sherriff's Office, KS

Hi All, 

I'm compiling a quick refresher for mounted units of hazards to be aware of as we are searching. This could be anything from natural obstacles like holes and crumbling shorelines, to man-made concerns like boobie-traps around someone's pot field. What have you seen and what do you keep an eye out for when you are searching?
