EMERGENCY KITS
Emergency Kit #1 attached with a Snap Alternative
It was a beautiful spring day. The bugs weren't out in full force yet, the sun was shining and everything seemed good to go. Just a few minutes into what should have been a nice, relaxing trail ride, Daisy had other ideas and started acting up pretty badly. It got to the point where I thought, "Boy, I'd like to get off right now, sure wish I would have brought my halter and lead." That incident spurred the idea for the "Emergency Kit". I wanted a halter and lead that I could have on my saddle at all times so I wouldn't have to actually think to grab it before I hit the trails.
Instead of hanging from the saddle, the Kit could be put in something such as a saddle bag.
Anyone who rides the trails, even if only occasionally, knows how quickly things can happen and how important it is to be prepared for unforeseen situations. We carry small first aid kits, cell phones, GPS units and other things to make sure we're prepared for whatever might come our way. We often overlook our tack. Snaps can break at the worst of times and those silly screws can disappear in an instant. All of a sudden it seems like it's the wrong day to ask your horse to cross that bridge. You drop your leather rein, your horse steps on it and now it's broken. What are you going to do??? The Emergency Kit contains the basic items to get you through these kinds of situations.
Just like your spare tire, keep a spare halter, lead or reins in the car, truck, or trailer.
You'll be glad it's there when you need it.
What a great gift for all your trail riding buddies!
Don't be caught without the essentials when you need them most!!
In Canada, there is nothing to add to the price except shipping to get the product to you. See the "Shipping & Payment Info" page for more information.
Emergency Kit #1
- one Halter
- one 1/2" x 12 foot Lead
- two Original Snap Alternatives
With this kit you get a Halter, a long Lead, and 2 Original Snap Alternatives. Use the Lead and Snap Alternatives to make reins if yours should happen to break. The long Lead may come in handy to help a nervous horse over a small stream, ditch or other scary object. The Snap Alternatives can also be used to attach things to your saddle.
(This is the kit I put together for myself (but I replaced the halter with an AB Side Pull -- see below) and it weighs roughly 2 pounds and is shown in the picture above. After some consideration, I chose to go with the 1/2" rope for the lead although it makes a bigger parcel to carry. Here's my thinking for that decision...If Daisy is upset enough for me to want to get off (to put it mildly, she can be quite a handful at times!) then I don't think the 1/4" rope would be enough to hang on to. I have used a 1/4" lead in the past and feel perfectly comfortable with it when she is calm and attentive. Just a thought to consider when choosing a kit for yourself.)
Choose any 1/4" colour for the Halter and Snap Alternatives
Choose any 1/2" colour for the Lead
See the "Colour & Rope Selection" page.
Feel free to mix and match colours.

Emergency Kit #2
** picture shown below with optional AB Side Pull instead of Halter
- one Halter
- one 1/4" x 12 foot Lead
- two Snap Alternatives
Same as Kit #1 above but using the 1/4" rope for the Lead instead of the 1/2" rope. This results in a smaller, lighter package -- See picture below showing size comparison between Emergency Kit #1 and #2.
Choose any 1/4" colour from the "Colour & Rope Selection" page.
Feel free to mix and match colours.

Emergency Kit #3
- one Halter
- one 1/4" x 9 foot Loop Reins
- two Original Snap Alternatives
This kit provides you with spare Reins that will do in a pinch if yours should happen to break and Snap Alternatives to attach them to your bridle or Halter. Not as long as a Lead might be, but the Reins can also be attached to the Halter for leading, tying, or grazing your horse. This kit will be smaller and lighter making it easier to pack.
Choose any 1/4" colour from the "Colour & Rope Selection" page.
Feel free to mix and match colours.

Replace the Halter with an AB Side Pull in any of the kits above for an additional
$17.00 CDN + Emergency Kit price
This is a great idea! The AB Side Pull can be used as a halter AND as a bridle! For more information on the AB Side Pull, see the "Bitless Bridles / Side Pulls" page for all the details. Those screws that hold many bridles together are famous for disappearing at the worst of times! With the AB Side Pull in your kit, you will be well prepared with a spare halter AND a spare bridle.

Emergency Kit #4
** picture shown below
- one 1/4" x 9 foot Loop Reins
- two Original Snap Alternatives
Here's a simple, compact kit that provides you with replacement Reins that will get you back safely. The Snap Alternatives can be used to attach the Reins to the bridle or AB Side Pull or even attach something to your saddle. The Reins can even be used as a lead rope if needed. This kit fits into a snack-size ziplock baggie as seen in the pictures below.
Choose any 1/4" colour from the "Colour & Rope Selection" page.
