Safety orange for turnout during hunting season?

If you can't find neon orange, get neon pink sheets.

I saw in a catalog a orange turnout sheet for hunting season.

If you dont want to do a sheet, I dont think there is much you can do.

What about orange breakaway halters, and maybe braid or tie some bright orange thick ribbon in their manes and tails?

Lots of good ideas! I'll definitely get the orange breakaway halters and look into the paint stuff. I'm gonna hold off on the vests and sheets for now until we get things set up and see how much they hang out in the woods - I just don't want them getting snagged on trees, etc. Plus, Honey is still growing and the medium vest for this year probably would be too small for next year. But, I might get one for Sweetie since she's as big as she's gonna be and see how it goes. Husband still says that I'm going overboard, but we have elk all around our house and people have shot them thinking they were big deer (????). It only take one idiot to leave us with a very dead horse. It just isn't worth the risk to me.

I'm going to look into some "Private Property" type signs to put on the perimeter of our property - maybe I can get some that say something about horses being here too.

It does only take one idiot - and there are plenty of those out there. There was a cow lost to hunters just down the road from our place two years ago and some shooting too close to comfort near my neighbor's place last year. All of the property on our road butts up against a dense tree/woods-line that crawls with hunters every year. Some of them seem to think that "big and brown" is good enough for "shoot now, identify later" hunting. I've actually been toying with the idea of temporarily cross-fencing the pasture to keep Aero up closer to the house, but the barn is at the back of the field and that would be kind of a pain. We do keep her in her bright halter, though, which I don't really like as I don't like leaving the halter on unless we are actively needing/using it, kwim?

would there be anyway to just put the horses in a smaller pen at dawn and dusk? Nobody hunts in the dark but if you would put them up from 5-8 in the morning and then 4-8 at night, would that be possible?? That's what we do our horses would destroy sheets...

Better safe then sorry, I say! Definitely get "Posted" signs up around the perimetre and I have driven passed horses with fluro orange paint on their rumps along with the halters, I always thought it was for hunting season.

The signs sound like a good idea as well. You could even simply paint on plywood "Horses present, use caution" or something.

Awe those little vests are so cute.

I think if you had them in those and some orange halters and boots they would be alright.
Especially if you've got signs saying there are horses present.

You could braid orange stuff into their mains and tails but I dunno. that might be a stupid idea. I don't own a horse, I don't know what works and what doesn't
