The several hours I was wandering the woods looking for Rose gave me plenty of motivation to buy Rose tags for both herself and her tack. Luckily another rider chased her down the road before she hit the major highway but she was close. I hate the thought of that ever happening again but I know it happens. <br /><br />So how are you training Fee to come at a whistle? Rose usually will come at her name but its not reliable.Caitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05459999598962107210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899388425248595265.post-17859532990228189212011-07-01T11:28:11.121-07:002011-07-01T11:28:11.121-07:00Good post!

I already do most of what you suggest - I use a colorful ribbon to braid Dixie's dog tag in her mane. Photos with the owner in the picture are a good idea! My heart goes out to the person who lost her horse. :(Funderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358687366401205336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899388425248595265.post-34250022637066661952011-07-01T11:08:18.332-07:002011-07-01T11:08:18.332-07:00From my experience searching for lost dogs, may I ...From my experience searching for lost dogs, may I add one more suggestion? Get someone who maybe can't help out with the physical search to devote their attention to posting online - online classifieds like craigslist and local community classifieds, but also horse forums, dog forums, chicken forums, white water rafting forums, local hiking forums - heck, anywhere that people who care about animals and/or engage in outdoor activties might be reading. Oh..and contact ANY outdoor clubs in the area (you can usually find phone numbers on line or check with the nearest library for a list relevant to where you are)- we have had 'eyes in the sky' from hang gliding and soaring clubs, feet on the ground from geocaching and orientation clubs, naturalists, youth groups, camps. Being a long weekend, there will be lots of people out there who just might see a horse.

They were gone for 2 weeks and there were infrared helicopters searching the pines for days. I've also heard stories of horses getting caught in thickets and giving up... just standing quietly until they eventually starve to death. There was one who got swept down a river in Maine a few years ago and ended up in such a thicket... in swampland that was chest deep in water. They found her, but it was a close call! So scary. Good tips.Domhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139769676714813261noreply@blogger.com
