EQUISEARCH VOICES

"Do you trail ride alone? When I was a kid I used to trail ride alone all the time. But, being middle-aged, and more conscious of all that can go wrong, I'm kinda hesitant to do any trail riding alone. I'm planning to always wear a bright orange reflective vest, always wear my helmet, carry a cell phone, maybe even one of those locator things backcountry skiers use. But, a little voice is saying you'd be crazy to go out alone. Thoughts?" BassClef54 in On The Trail
