Rider Safety Week Spotlight: Be Seen, Be Safe with Equi-Flector

When we think about safety in the saddle, we often focus on helmets, vests, or tack. But one of the most overlooked aspects of rider safety is visibility. Whether you’re riding near roads, in shared trail spaces, or in low-light conditions, making sure both you and your horse are clearly visible can prevent accidents before they happen.

That’s where high-visibility riding gear comes in. Fluorescent and reflective equipment helps drivers, cyclists, and other riders spot you more quickly—giving everyone more time to react.

Why High-Visibility Gear Matters

According to equestrian road safety studies, riders in high-visibility gear are noticed by drivers three seconds sooner than those in dark clothing. That may not sound like much, but at 40 mph, that’s an extra 176 feet of stopping distance—more than enough to prevent a close call.

High-visibility gear is not just for road riders—it’s also valuable for trail riding, hunting season, or foggy/winter weather when visibility drops.
