Getting Down The Road: Hauling Horses Safely

Getting Down The Road: Hauling Horses Safely

If you’re anything like me, you still get giddy every time you see a horse trailer. Come to Arizona in the winter, and you’ll be sure to see a few.

We’re well into the winter season here in the Grand Canyon state, where warm-weather horsemen and horsewomen flock to Arizona in droves.

Fair weather, large competition purses coupled with the holidays not only means more vehicles on the road, but horse trailers as well.

A lot of us don’t give driving a second thought. There’s a certain level of awareness that should always be had (and often isn’t), but trust me, when you’re hooked on to a 5,000 lbs. steel trailer hauling a few 1,000 lbs. horses you become a lot more aware.

To supplement or not to supplement, that is the question.

There’s a supplement for just about everything — oils, powders and pellets for every benefit or ailment under the sun. if you can think of it, it’s probably out there.

All any rider wants is for our equine partners to look and feel their best — why is it so hard to not be overwhelmed by all the choices and the stigma? While not everyone is a fan of supplements, I am pro-supplement. Of course, with my veterinarian’s guidance.
