Travelling

Transport of horses is common practice, involving individuals and groups of animals travelling over varying distances. When you travel with your horse, the most important thing is that you both arrive safely at your destination. Preparation before you travel will ensure you both travel safely and confidently.
Ensuring your horse is fit for travelling is very important, as well as being in good health your horse should also be up-to-date with all necessary vaccinations and worming. It is also a good idea to make sure you have practiced loading your horse into a horsebox or lorry before you travel, so both you and your horse are relaxed, this will mean less chance of delays or hesitation on the day.
