Ride Alert announces their latest partnership with Certified Horsemanship Association – helping to promote the safety of both horse and rider to Members through the Ride Alert 24/7 Emergency ID Service.

"No one wants to be involved in a horse riding accident (or any other emergency) 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.

Arranging a partnership with Certified Horsemanship Association made perfect sense to us, since the education and safety of both horse and rider is as paramount to them, as it is to us here at Ride Alert." - Anita Hasbury-Snogles, Co-Founder, Ride-Alert, USA.

“We are excited to be working with Ride Alert,” says Christy Landwehr Chief Executive Officer for CHA. “We want to be able to provide our members with products and services that help them do their jobs, which is to teach all levels of horsemanship to their clients who range from first time riders and horse owners to those that are competing and going on weekly trail rides, and Ride Alert fits that bill.” – Christy Landwehr, CEO, Certified Horsemanship Association.
