Ready for a travel??

What should I put on my horse before traveling?? We are going on a big //HUGE// compition and he needs to be really good after the travel, he's on horseshoes, and I know he as to wear blanket, but what more?? Something on the feets, but what?? Anyone have the perfect answer with all this things to take care of??

What is the weather / temperature like ? If its still warm he doesnt have to wear a blanket.

If he's used to wraps & you know how to do shipping wraps or even standing wraps I would do that too.

I will sometimes feed oil in the week or 2wks before I go on a long haul just to keep everything moving through. Also, bring a few jugs of water for your horse to drink for when you make stops on the way. I also soak their hay in water incase they don't want to drink when they are on the trailer.

Lots of fly spray !!

That's all I can think of right now

Thanks, O here its all winter!! So I meaby should let him wear blanket, thanks, im ready to go :d <3 <3

I definitely like to have water and soak he hay in water. It also helps with the dust. :)

If it's an open stock trailer I like to put fly masks on my guys. That way if the shavings start flying around they won't get in their eyes.

If it's a short trip I use shipping boots. For longer trips I use standing wraps, bell boots and sometimes hock wraps (one of mine will kick the trailer).

Another one of mine gets a head bumper because she throws her head as she backs up.

Blankets according to weather. And maybe halter fuzzies if your horse is sensitive.

Shipping boots are always a must for me.
I was trailering with a friend and she didn't put shipping boots on and when her horse came out of the trailer she tripped and ended up cutting her whole entire front leg open, I know it's only a "sometimes" thing that can happen but ever since that I always make sure my horses have shipping boots or standing wraps on. Also my friend uses one of those horse helmet things. I find them silly but her horse tends to throw his head up in the trailer so it helps

For safety and all that, get leg wraps, bell boots, a poll protecter, a tail bandage and a safe and comfortable halter.

By the way, when you get there, are you letting your horse into a paddock, or are you keeping him in the stable or what?

When I ship horses I have a blanket or sheet on them, shipping boots or wraps, tail wrapped, I also have shipping halters.

*He will go streat into a paddock and have it cofortable for the compition so what I need is :
Blanket,
Halter,
Bell boots,
Tail bandage,
Leg warps,
(there are no flys over the summer at Iceland where I live so I don't need fly protecting)

So that's what I need??

How lucky! I wish our summers were fly free!! ;)
Sounds like that list you had should do the trick, just protect the legs most importantly!

:) Safe travels!!
