Location: California | A list of all of your horse's vital statistics. God forbid an accident occurs, anyone on scene can more quickly assess the situation. Pulse, HR, temp, etc. I created one really quickly and laminated it and taped it to the inside of my trailer...just a thought |

The horse.
And your saddle
also an extra pair of pants/boots in case you dump a bucket all over yourself.

Location: Gainesville, TX | According to Martha Josey:
FOR YOUR HORSE
Registration Papers
Health Papers-Coggins Papers
Saddle and Pad
Over and Under or Bat
Front and Back Cinches, Breastcollar, Headgear (competition and warm-up, and extra bridle)
Tie-Down and Tie-Down Strap
Leg Protection such as Overreach Boots, Combination Boots (front and rear)
Rubber Bands
Shin Guards
Good strong halter and lead
Hoof Pick
Brushes and other grooming materials you use
Blanket or sheet for cooling and protection show Rambo Blankets
Buckets (feed and water)
Hay-bag and hay
Feed (having individual feeding already measured and in grocery sacks is always handy)
Shovel or pitchfork (for keeping trailer clean)
Fist Aid Supplies (including leg wraps, vet wrap, cotton pads, peroxide, alcohol, liniments, leg brace, poultice, a wound dressing medication, scissors; you want to be prepared if a horse strains a muscle or tendon, or get injured in any way. Depending on your experience, you might also carry needles, syringes and a painkiller such as Butazolidin or Banamine, in case of colic or pain; and Acepromazine, to tranquilize a horse in case of an accident and Hy-Flex for joints. Fly spray (even if you are not having any pest problems at home; sometimes you can go to a show and so many horses together seems to have caused a fly problem; mosquitoes are also bad at some places and since diseases are transmitted by insects, don’t take any chances)
Towel and washcloth
Extra horseshoes (sooner or later you will lose a shoe and it’s hard to find those right shoes when you are on the road)
Water hose
Scraper
FOR YOUR RIG
Insect repellent for people
Spar tires for truck and trailer picture of Martha’s truck and trailer
Tire changing equipment (jack, lug wrench, etc.)
Flashlight
Extra sets of keys to truck and trailer
Black electrical tape
Road Atlas
Leather hole punch
Safety pins
Paper Towels |

| I think I might pack a package of rice. I dropped my phone in a water bucket once and it would have been nice to have immediately. |

Location: SE KS | we're going on a trail ride in June, so I too am making a list of items!!! We are going with someone else in their trailer. So I have the list of items needed, and have gotten a "carryall"/diaper bag to put the horse supplies in, and a tack bag to put halters, leads, bridles in. Also have horn bag & cantle/saddle bags to put important on the trail things in!! Hopefully I can stuff all the "needed" supplies into my various "containers" n keep track of it!!!

Location: Randolph, Utah | When I haul with someone else I try and pack as light as possible. I'm the worst about I MIGHT need and then I never use what I packed.
I've found gallon ziplock bags are great for grain, and the little baggies for supplements (if not liquid) easy to pack and the grain is already measured out. |

Location: Kansas | Sit down and think about everything you do with your horse before and after runs, then make a list of the items you need for those routines. When I travel, I take a full rig. It gets downright ridiculous how much crap I have but I am never going to be caught without something again.
For the horses:
enough hay for a full extra day (space is usually tight for me)
2 5-gal containers of water (refill every time I leave a rodeo so I always have water that they'll drink when I get to the next stop)
a hay bag for each horse unless I know that everywhere I park will have grass so I can toss it on the ground instead
2 or 3 water buckets
Saddle & pad for each horse in the trailer
Cooler, sheet and blanket for each horse
Bridles - every one I own LOL. (For a one-day trip in someone else's trailer, I take each horse's competition bridle, an extra hack and an extra bridle w/bit so I have a backup if any of the competition bridles breaks)
Polo wraps (minimum 6 sets per horse LOL - anyone who has looked in my trailer knows this is true)
Bell boots - all of them LOL
Rubbermaid tub full of grain, scoop, supplements (in small jars) and a small salt or mineral block (Chance loves mineral & salt blocks)
Electric tape
Duct tape
Baling twine
Baling wire
Basket full of brushes, combs, hoof picks
Liniment, poultice
Underwoods & baking powder
Clean rags - flour sack towels are my favorites for rubbing liniment on legs
PHT Magnetic products - 3-in-1 wraps and bell boots
Fly mask for each horse & fly sheet for each horse in the summer
Air Power, Ventipulmin, Flair strips and Clearex (also need clean syringes for Air Power & Ventipulmin)
Banamine, Bute, Lasix (which reminds me I need to get more just in case)
Iodine, vet wrap, gauze pads, diapers, maxi pads (those last two are great for wrapping wounds)
Photonic torch & batteries for it
For my dog and I:
Extra set of clothes in the trailer at all times
Sheets, pillows, comforter
Fans or heater for trailer
Extra AA batteries for the push lights in my trailer
Phone charger so I can charge it while I drive
Bluetooth headset
GPS
Books, magazines, Nook, tablet - something to entertain myself during dead time
Dog food & treats
Water dish (a small gladware container works well for this because it wil fit in the cupholders of my truck)
Snacks for me, and an ice chest full of food & drinks |

AMEN I LOVE YOU.
I would rodeo with girls and they would bring the entire months worth of grain with them! I would just use ziploc bags and have everything pre-measured. I would just bring a water bucket and grain bucket for each horse, and the essentials.
Packing your own trailer is way different but I don't think you need as much as you think backup wise....
Extra cinch/headstall/ reins/ lead rope.
Stuff like bute/ banamine/ syringes/ gauze/ vetwrap
Blankets/pillows
Screws/ toolset
OH and lots of twine!!!

| Just a little tip, but everything in bags. I know it sounds simple but I started this last year. I have a CE bag that has all my BOT/pht/soft-rides stuff in it, its one of the large mesh bags with a zipper around it, anything therapeutic goes in that bag. I have a smaller CE boot bag that I put my horses boots/wraps in, I also put a couple mesh bags in it that I put my wraps in after they are dirty. I have a boot bag with my standing wraps and runners relief in it, I have have a bag with my magic cushion and everything that goes with it in it, then I have an extra bag that I use to carry stuff in. Most importantly I have my drug bag/box. I always have banamine, bute, lasix, and sed-ivet, and stuff to treat a wound with me just in case something happens. Another good tip with I am going to be hauling with someone I mix all the dry ingredients of my horses grain and put them in zip lock bags, it makes it easier than having to take bags of grain and supplements with you. That way I just have to take the liquid stuff with us.
I know this all sounds a little obsessive but it makes everything SOOO much easier. If I want put on my horses BOT stuff I just grab that bag, if I want to sweat her legs with runners relief I grab that bag. Its especially easy when are traveling with other people. |
