This is part of an ongoing series of posts about trailering. If you're an old hand at hauling horses, please chime in! Here is another safety feature that you might not have thought of to include, or do, when hauling your own horse.  And finally, some miscellaneous items - no matter how long or short the trip, I make sure to fill my hay bags. I also make sure that I carry a five gallon container of fresh water (green jug in the background). I also carry several buckets, horse treats, a rake, a spare lead rope and halter, a few medical items, a pocket knife, fly spray, scissors, a grooming bag, and a horse blanket. These things always stay loaded in my trailer and have proven to be quite handy over the years.
Safety Tip #7: Keep your trailer stocked with it's own supply of "might need this someday" items. Comments are closed.

About the Writer and RiderI am a lifelong rider.
I began endurance riding in 1996 where I ultimately completed five, one-day 100 mile races, the 200-mile Death Valley Encounter, and numerous other 50, 65, and 75 mile races. I began showing dressage in 2010. Welcome to my dressage journey.
