“Whilst at a pony club
rally, (some years ago) I fell of my pony
and she managed to get out of the farm onto
the road and continued to trot up the road
heading back to our stables, fortunately a
couple of guys on mountain bikes managed to
grab her about a mile up the road at a T
Junction, at which point we caught up,
however she had no form of identification on
her and it was just fortunate that we were
able to get to them when we did, as they had
no idea what to do, were this pony come
from, or belonged to! – I think ICEBands are
a really fantastic idea, unfortunately we
don’t all have those lovely horses that will
just stand by you if you happen to fall off
out on a ride – mine are always having way
too much fun to hang around and wait for me
to pick myself up!”

' in December 2004 I was thrown from my
horse onto a main road while out riding. I
was knocked unconscious and my horse ran
down the main road loose and frightened
amongst the Sunday traffic. Our story had a
happy ending - we were re-united and my
bruises healed. Today, I never ride out
without both myself and my horse wearing an
ICEBand. It is a very reassuring feeling
knowing that emergency contact numbers are
easily visible and the right help can be
raised quickly'.
Chris Odell of Berkshire commented:
Driving home from work one evening, I came
across a loose horse in a country lane. I
stopped the car, and caught the horse. That
was the easy bit, I soon realised that I had
no idea what to do next as I had no means of
knowing where the horse came from or whom to
call. An identification band on the horse
such as an ICEBand would have meant I had a
number to phone and the horse could have
been quickly and safely returned home.
