Hi Viz Horse Wear

Leaving the security of the riding arena or enclosed yard and hitting the open road with your horse is a pleasant experience but also has its perils. As the light starts to fade, the risks begin to increase. Hi visibility horse wear such as hi viz exercise sheets, rugs, boots and tack are all good options to help you to be seen and minimize the risk.

When riding on an open road, it’s always a good ideal to use proper hi viz horse riding wear and accessories for both the rider and horse. No matter how quiet or busy the road is, hight visibility horse wear can save lives.

The expression ‘it’s better to be safe than sorry’ is perfectly appropriate to raise awareness about the importance of riders wearing visibility-enhancing clothes and high-visibility wear for horses.

High Visibility & Reflective Horse Wear

It's important to keep in mind that, when riding out on the open road, there are many factors beyond your control. Even when riding alongside the road, horses can spook or trip, ending in the middle of the road. That’s one of the many reasons why it’s so important that drivers, bikers, and cyclists can see you from as much distance as possible and be prepared for passing you.

Horse hi viz products are either made with or include reflective materials that glow when reached by the vehicle’s headlights, allowing motorists to notice you with anticipation and slow down. In case of an emergency, using reflective horse gear allows motorists to react faster and gain vital distance and braking time. These days it’s also important to consider cycles, and electrical scooters, which are silent and often difficult to see.

When riding on open roads, it’s important to be seen from multiple angles. For example, a hi viz breastplate for horses and hi viz horse ears make you and your horse easier to see from the front and sides. Using high visibility horse wear on your horse’s legs is also an effective way to be seen. For example, a fantastic multi-purpose solution is the hi viz brushing boots for horses, that provide excellent visibility while protect your horse’s legs from rubbing, bumps, scrapes, among others. If you already have protective boots for your horse, you can fit horse reflective boots or hi viz horse leg wraps on top, which is a practical and cost-effective way to make your horse’s legs visible.

Hi Viz Horse Rugs & Sheets

A hi viz horse rug or sheet is probably the best option for being seen from a far distance and from all angles. A reflective horse rug or hi viz horse sheet provides excellent visibility while riding, especially in low-light conditions. You will find them in different models and weights. Some high viz horse sheets are waterproof, keeping your horse both dry and visible.
