Traveling with Your Horse: Tips for Before, During and After the Trip

Traveling with Your Horse: Tips for Before, During and After the Trip
Your best chance of having a happy, healthy horse when you arrive at your destination is to start with one. But even a healthy horse may need a physical examination before traveling. Ask your veterinarian what vaccinations, blood tests and paperwork you need for your trip--different states have different rules. Bring your horse's health records, a first aid kit, phone numbers of veterinarians along the way, medications or supplements, and all the hay and grain he'll need for the entire trip. Accustom your horse to loading, riding in a trailer and wearing protective gear well beforehand. Consider giving electrolytes, antioxidants and GI protectants to help him recover quicker from long-distance transport.
