In Case of Emergency Cards (ICE Cards)
This year we are asking all riders to fill out emergency information when they pick up entry packs. The card asks you for contact information (at home and on the event grounds). We want to be able to contact someone who will make sure your horse is watered and fed. If you travel to an event by yourself and have no on-site contact person, ask someone on your shed row to be that person. Eventers are the best and will gladly help you out.
