Protect yourself and your horse and ICE your cell phone, right now. ICE stands for In Case of Emergency. ICE is an international designation that Emergency Medical Technicians, Emergency Responders and EquiMedic USA will look for on your personal cell phone if you are injured and unable to speak, or respond to questions, as a result of any type of accident or debilitating illness.

Take a few minutes to make the entries: ICE in your cell phone for yourself and ICE HORSE for your horses. In the first entry, after entering the word: ICE, list the person’s name and phone number whom you would have emergency care takers call and notify in case you are found injured or unconscious. Do the same with the name and phone number of your veterinarian or the person you would want contacted to make decisions about your horses.
