What to pack when you go travel with your horse.

Who doesn’t love to go travel with your horse? If it’s for a competition or a trip, the days before departure are always stressful because you have to pack a lot of things for you and your horse. To assure you won’t forget anything, we made a checklist with what to bring with you when you travel with your horse. Save this checklist and you can easily print this the next time you’re traveling with your horse.

What to bring to the trailer?

Check the tires of the car and trailer/truck
Clean bedding
Fill a hay net. Don’t forget to take some extra in the car
Bring some extra food
Clean bucket for water
Shipping halter
Cooler rug
Shipping boots
Tail guard and tail bag to protect the tail from rubbing against the trailer

First aid kit

Equipment for your horse

Grooming set
Spare halter and lead
Bridle
Don’t just throw your bridle in the truck, you can use a bridle bag to protect the leather from scratching
Saddle and a saddle cover
Girth
Saddle pads
Did you know you can easily take 3 to 5 saddle pads with you in our Saddle pad bag? The bag also prevents your saddle pads from getting dirty or wet, as the coating is waterproof.
Leg protectors like boots or bandages
A clean rug
You don’t like putting a dirty rug back in the clean car when you changed rugs? Put your rug in our rug bag and when you come home you can easily wash the bag at 30 degrees.
