I was going to pick up some Virkon tablets to dissolve and spray down my stall and I already don't let my horses sniff noses with others, but does anyone give anything as an immunity booster or anything? If there is a longer haul then usual do you do anything extra? She will be living in her PHT blanket and wraps with daily Omeprezole and lots of hand walking but is there anything else?

It sounds like you have a pretty good handle on what you are going to do. I personally don't do an immune booster but I am not opposed to it either. As far as hauling... we haul anywhere from 2 to 5-6 hours on a regular basis. We will stop about every 3 to offer water, etc. We haul naked (lol). No wraps, no magnets etc. This is how our horses travel though. I don't know how yours typically travel. When we haul to the world, we stop every 3 hours for about 15-20 minutes and half way mark (6 hours) we get them out, walk them around and let them move. Load back up after about 20/30 minutes and hit the road.

We used to have one horse that would always get a snotty nose after a show but has not in over 2 years

Elite Veteran Posts: 617 Location: London Ontario	Yes ours have all their vaccinations. The haul is about 15 hours, we place to break it up and stop over night at 10 hours. We are thinking that at every fuel stop we will take them out to offer water and go for a walk. We usually dont haul more then 4 hours

Elite Veteran Posts: 950 Location: MO	I don't think you have to pull them out every time unless you have no way to offer water. Just standing in the trailer at your fuel stops for about 20 minutes is a good break with a large one in the middle, like your overnight break. the omeprazole is a great idea too BTW.
