Hunter-Friendly Gear

Ride safely during the fall hunting season with these solutions.

Stand Out!

There’s something about heading out on the trails when fall weather rolls in. The crisp mornings, fewer bugs buzzing around, and, of course, fall foliage. But, for many regions across the United States, fall also means hunting season. So, riders should take extra safety precautions when riding out in trails this time of year. Wearing orange tack like this biothane leather tack set ($79.98; hilason.com), which comes with a headstall, breast collar, and split reins, is one way to help ensure safety since most hunting seasons require orange safety gear for hunters.

See Me Now

If you wear a helmet while riding, this high-visibility orange reflector strap is a necessity. The strap is elastic and easily slides over your helmet. With the reflective pieces, you’ll be seen both day and night. $13; hogstaonline.com.

Safety Shield

This safety shield protects your horse from the bugs, while the wide orange strips allow your horse to be easily seen. It attaches to the back of the saddle and has weights in four areas to keep it in place. Starting at $64.99; horsehoodies.org.

Horse ID

If you’re camping overnight during hunting season, this orange reflective collar can keep your horse safer. It is also great if your horse gets loose while camping or riding and can be custom embroidered with contact information. Starting at $27.95; equestrisafe.com.
