If you like to ride your horse when it’s dark out, extra precautions must be taken. You want to always wear a helmet, never go alone, prep your horse, etc. One of the most important precautions you can take is wearing reflective gear. Tail Lights Rider Safety System is providing that preparation with tail lights for your horse. Literally. These are lights for your horse’s tail (they connect to the tail using a wrap) as well as for the front of your horse (a light connects to the breast collar). The front unit is diffused so that your horse’s vision is not compromised.




The goal of the Tail Lights Rider Safety System is to reduce the number of horses and riders who are hit by motorists or even experience near-misses. A 2013 survey suggested that lights were the most effective way to go for this goal and this product provides 360 degrees of visibility for you and your horse, as well as several other features.
