Do you have any tips for preparing my horse for transport?

Here are a few tips for preparing your horse for transport:

-Give your horse time to get used to being in a trailer before transport. Take them for short trips around the block or to a nearby park if possible. This will help them get used to the trailer and make the journey smoother for both of you.

-Make sure that your horse is up to date on their vaccinations. This will help protect them from disease while in close quarters with other horses.

-Pack hay and water for your horse to eat and drink while on the journey. This will help to keep them comfortable and hydrated during transport.

-Label all of your tacks and clearly mark any fragile items that could be damaged during transport. This will help to ensure that everything arrives safely at your destination.
