Location: WI | I love to have my cell phone on me when I'm riding - linked to a bluetooth speaker so I can jam out :-) However, I just got the iPhone 6 Plus which is too big to fit in my pockets :( How do y'all carry the bigger phones when you ride? |

| I have seen a lot of girls rubber band them to the saddle horn. Not ideal if you are running, but for exercising and slow work it seems to work well |

Location: LA Lower Alabama | I shove it in the front of my jeans using my T shirt to keep it from sliding down. If I hook it to the saddle and something bad happens more than likely the saddle and I will be in two different places..... |

| Figure out a way to carry it on your person if you ride alone. A belt clip, there's some leg bands out there, flip belt, etc.
It is absolutely pointless IMO if you are riding alone to have it attached to your saddle. If Sparky loses his crap, you get tossed and need emergency help - Sparky still has your phone.
also why I refuse to have a phone that doesn't fit in my pocket. My 6s is as big as I'll go, Apple will lose a customer next time I need a phone if they get any bigger.

This made me laugh... but you are absolutely right on! They make a carrier that you can wear around your thigh. |

That made me laugh too!
I do like my carrier that is on my saddle, I never ride alone. Last time I did that Sparky slipped in mud and fell on me breaking my leg. Ha! |

| I ride alone a lot on 60 acres of cow pasture, or even just when I ride on our arena you can't see it from the house, there's no telling how long I could lay there if I come off! I never ride colts without someone at least outside to hear me holler, but all of my most recent falls have been bad steps, not misbehavior.
Glad I could provide a giggle 
Happy Friday! |

| I also use a flip belt, I really like it. I've used it for other things when I want to be hands-free as well.
I am also hoping that on hot days it helps sweat off the muffin top! |

Location: Mississippi | hoofs_in_motion - 2016-08-12 9:55 AM I stick mine in my........boob. I do the same lol! I always wear a sports bra and stick my phone right in the front of it. It stays put and honestly I don't even notice it anymore. I figured it's best to stick it somewhere on your body versus saddle because if something happens your saddle will most likely still be with your horse while you are on the ground.
In the winter I wear coveralls when I ride and they have a zipper pocket that I put my phone in.

Location: South Dakota | I had a super cute leather phone case for my iphone 3 but didn't fit my iphone 6. I bought a plain black one at Menards for under $10 I think. It clips to my belt/pants and stays on when I run barrels. |
