Trail Ride Checklist
You want your trail rides to be safe and enjoyable for everyone involved. But often, in the excitement of the day, we forget the most basic items as we rush around, struggling to get on the road as soon as possible. Check out our simple checklist and make sure you have everything you need to make your trail ride a success.

Check your horse to see if he is travel ready. Do you have all the supplies you need for his health and safety?

Water, hay, buckets
Hoof pick
Currying equipment
Food
Treats
Equine first aid kit
Fly spray
Emergency boot
Shipping boots or leg wraps
Copy of health papers if required

Check your tack over thoroughly. Is everything usable? Do you need to replace pieces for safety? Is everything packed in the trailer?

Check your trailer to ensure that it is road-ready. This is a very important step and should NEVER be skipped. The safety of you and your horse, as well as other motorists rests on this.

How are the tires? Is the pressure adequate? Is the tread wear okay?
How is the inside? Are all the floorboards in place? Any rotting or cracking? Are fresh shavings put down? Are rubber mats installed to prevent slipping?
Are the gates intact?
Do all the latches work?
Is the hitch in good shape?
Check brake lights/turn signals.
Check trailer tie or lead rope to secure horse.
Check windows and/or air vents.

Check your personal items for your comfort and safety.
