I will be doing solo horseback riding soon and my mom wants me to have something on my person during the rides so she can check on me and my location without me needing to answer a text or phone call. It’s purely a safety thing and exclusively for me when I’m riding alone. Outside of riding, the tech will be turned off and stored with my riding stuff.
What would y’all do in this kinda scenario? I value the opinions of the people here in regards to tech more than the search results I was getting when I looked it all up.


The easiest option is phone tracking apps, something my friends back at middle school tended to have, but i think you can get fitbits that will share your location, which would be a nice thing for your mom to get you if she insists on tracking you - it will be useful in the fiture and might be helpful for tracking progress in horseriding. They support a surprising range of activities now.
In saying “fitbit” i might be doing the thing where i name one brand in trying to use a name for the general product, but you know what I mean. A smartwatch for exercise.
