Trail Ride Gadgets and Accessories

Trail riding is really fun and exciting, but while it is great, there are a few gadgets and things that make it easier and safer. While you may think to bring a bottle of water or something of the sort, there`s so much more that you should have to make things more fun, easier and to ensure you`re protected no matter what happens.

Cantle Bag

This is a must and if you don`t know what it is it`s basically a bag, kind of like a fanny pack, that sits at the back of the saddle. These can be bought relatively inexpensively, easily for less than 20.

This is great because you can carry not only some things for yourself and also have an easier place to keep your phone, but you can also put things for your horse like a treat or snack, hoofpick should anything get caught in their food on rough trails and even more. It`s a great investment and can make a world of difference to your trail riding experience.

Various Apps

If you have a smartphone, there are so many apps that can be incredibly beneficial when you`re going on a trail ride, and we don`t just mean Google Maps, as great as it is. Try Viewranger GPS � Augmentra for routes and also be able to share your location, so should anything go wrong, there`s a record of where you are and where you have been.

Hoofbeatz Audio

Much like what it sounds like, this is an iOS-integrated speaker system so you can listen to stuff still while riding. Although it is not waterproof, it`s very durable and designed specifically for riders atop a horse. It attaches the saddle and has Bluetooth abilities too so you can even multitask as well.

Balios

This is a wearable device that tracks the rider`s training session and the horses` well-being through an app on your phone. It attaches to the girth and is compatible with Android and iOS. This can be really helpful when trail riding, just on the off chance your horse is having problems. It will help you pinpoint and problem solve much faster.

These gadgets are sometimes on the pricey side, but come with many benefits. And if nothing else, they`re just fun.

Tail Lights Pro

If you`re planning on going trail riding at night or have the possibility of not being back before the sun goes down, this is a must. This basically is a piece that fits onto your horses` tail and then you can turn on the LED lights through the handheld remote. While this may seem a bit unnecessary, it`s great for making sure cars or other potential hazards see you and it can also draw attention if you find yourself in trouble at night. The battery life is just under 24 hours, so it`ll last you a long time too.
