How Do You Transport Your Horse Safely?
Transporting your horse safely can be done by hiring expert horse transportation, or you can transport your horse yourself if you’re equipped with a truck and horse trailer. If you transport your own horses, have a trailer repair professional examine the trailer and hitch before you travel to be sure they’re safe. Some tips for safe horse transport include:
Secure all items in the trailer.
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Provide access to water.
Give the horse room to drop its head.
Plan regular breaks along the way.
Before getting on the road, make sure your horse has had a recent vet visit and is up to date on vaccines. Ask your vet whether to give your horse probiotics before the trip to help prevent digestive troubles while traveling.
