Around here, I"ve seen everything from nothing, to a kerosene lantern with a red lens behind it, (barely visible), to grey reflective triangles with a small reflector in it, to real SMV emblems, to reflector tape all over the back, to red flashing LED tail lights. All depends on the local bishop of their particular group, and what he"ll OK. That said, there should be some lighting/reflector requirement. But then they"d just ignore it, claiming "religious freedom." Scares the dickens outta me.
Wife is a retired nurse. One fall Saturday evening the ambulances began pulling in to the ER with loads of young people with serious injuries. Several hospitals up to 60 miles away were taking patients. Seems that a fraternity and sorority from a nearby college had a hayride. Horse drawn, two wagon loads, with only a lantern on the back for lighting. Somewhere along the route, the lantern got knocked off, shortly after, a drunk in a suburban struck the rear wagon.

Drivers are just not looking for those black, poorly marked carriages. When I put on a hayride, you ought to see the light show I put on. Try awful hard not to be out after dark with other machinery. Have a portable taillight/turn signal bar that can be mover from vehicle to vehicle when needed.
