Prepare Your Horse Trailer
First, you want to make your horse trailer ready for the outing. Ideally, ensure it’s all set for your animal and yourself.
You want to examine the exterior and interior for hazards, sanitize the walls and floors, and create proper ventilation inside your trailer. You also want to inspect your tires, test your lights, and ensure the hitch is sturdy and secure.
Find the Perfect Camping Spot
Next, you want to find an ideal camping spot for you and your horse. Explore locations that offer level ground for sleeping and tethering and have access to fresh water and ample shade to protect you and your equine friends from the sun. You want to look for horse-friendly campsites along your intended route and familiarize yourself with the rules and regulations of the place.
Ensure Safety and Comfort
Horse safety and comfort should be at the forefront of your planning process. When you arrive at your camping location, scan the area for hazards like sharp rocks or uneven terrain that could pose a risk for injuries. The idea is to ensure your horse is appropriately tethered and comfortable. If the ground appears unsafe, move to a different location.
A ground cover of hay or straw to rest on during the night can help your animals relax after a long day of trail riding.
