"No one wants to be involved in a horse riding accident but unfortunately paramedics are called to riding accidents all too frequently each week. By joining Ride-Alert you are allowing yourself to be identified quickly and for the emergency services to learn of any medical conditions or allergies that may affect your treatment. It also means your family can be informed as soon as you're found rather than being left worried at home." Anita Hasbury-Snogles, Co-Founder Ride-Alert, USA.

"What I find most appealing about Ride Alert, is that this system has multiple uses and abilities, and in this economy, anything which combines uses and helps save lives as well just shows how well Ride Alert is focusing on the customer.

Each tag or bracelet can be switched from one person, horse, or item to another at one's convenience allowing an occasional use for those that typically don't travel without having to purchase extra, seldom used IDs. Each user can feel secure in how much information is out there and can completely customize an emergency plan and change any detail of any aspect as often and as quickly as they want from the privacy of their home computer.

The fluidness, simplicity and accessibility of Ride Alert is why I've chosen this company for my personal and family emergency plans and is why I feel it's a great addition to the Virginia Horse Council's membership packet." Laura Martlock,Virginia Horse Council Board of Directors, Regional Director and Marketing Director

About Ride-Alert

Ride Alert, is a US based partner of the AlertID Group who have been providing identification support services in the UK for over 15 years. Ride Alert provides a simple online means to identify you and your horse and to record your medical and emergency contact details for later use by anyone who may need them in the event of an accident or illness.

Ride-Alert has been developed to provide peace of mind for riders and their families. As well as providing visible identification products for riders, horses and property, there is also the added comfort of having a 24/7 Emergency Support Team on call and ready to assist in any emergency situation.

When you register with Ride-Alert you will be asked to fill in a detailed profile about yourself, which can include your contact, next of kin and medical information as well as a crisis plan to be carried out in emergencies.

This information can be accessed by the Emergency Support Team through a unique ID number on your Ride-Alert products and relayed to the emergency services if necessary. This information could prove vital if you are involved in an accident, especially if you have any medical conditions or allergies to any medication.

You can also include information about your horses, your stable or livery yard location, contact details and who should be informed if your horse is found, as well as valuable property which can be identified by using our Helmet & Property Gel Badges.
