Do you wear contact lenses? If so you have several lens cases lying about that either you don't use or just throw away. Well how about a new use for them. If you show horses or go trail riding on a regular basis use those cases for putting a small amount of sunscreen or first aid cream, storing earrings in or small safety pins. Its small and can be put in a pocket or a small first aid kit. Use your imagination as to other ways too use these.
Use a steel lined water bottle. These type water bottles will keep you water, tea, etc colder or hotter while you are out riding and most have a ring on top so it can have a thin rope can be attatched to it. These are also better for you since they wont' leach chemicals into your water if they get warm from the sun like plastic can. OR be sure to chose BPH free plastic containers.
When out on the trails practice the concept of "trash in, trash out" most folks follow this, that whatever they take with them, garbage wise they take back out, well lets go one step further with this, if you see trash on the ground pick that up too and take it out. Some folks are not as courteous and leave themselves behind.
Happy Trails everyone,

Kathleen's Wild Ride
KD, her horses and Solo her dog are soon to be entering Wyoming. They've already crossed two states since her adventure began. Start point was Oregon City, Oregon. Will be doing a Q & A with KD soon to find out what all she's taking with her on her trip. I do know that Solo has to carry his own food in his doggie pack. And KD's mission on this trip is to find THE BEST bacon cheeseburger on her 3000 mile journey. Happy Trails!!!
