Lucky you to be able to be able to use the cell phone. Believe it or not we live in an area in Ohio where there is no cell phone coverage by any company. If you go three miles from our house you can use the cell phone. It makes me a bit uncomfortable to ride out on my own without that safety net. I used to do it, but after a few close calls and getting older and 'wiser' or should I say 'scareder', I don't like to do it. I especially don't want the first time out to an new area to be alone with the horse. -- Anna
