When it comes to traveling with your horse, ensuring their safety and comfort is of utmost importance. Proper equipment and protection are a necessity to any successful journey. Here are some essential items to consider:
1. Travel Boots
Protect your horse's legs during travel with protective travel boots. Such boots provide support and prevent injuries while loading, travelling and unloading from the trailer.
Ballistic Knee Pro-Tech Horse Travel Boots
The Ballistic Knee Pro-Tech travel boots are highly effective and designed to protect your horse's legs safe during transport. The integrated high-knee design features a layering system, which incorporates shockproof materials for the ultimate knee protection.
Travel Tech Travel Boots
Do you have younger horses, or horses that get hot during travel and dislike chunky boots? Then the Travel Tech Travel Boots are the perfect choice. These boots are cut shorter than traditional styles and do not cover the knee or hock joints. Therefore, they are suited to horses that do not like the restriction and bulkiness of a boot around their knees and hocks.
2. Headcollar and Lead Rope
Always have a headcollar and lead rope on hand for easy handling of your horse during stops or emergencies. Make sure the headcollar fits properly to prevent any discomfort.
Rego Padded Leather Headcollar
Made from premium leather, this softly padded head collar offers comfort, safety, and durability for everyday use or competitions. The padded poll piece and noseband work together to ensure a comfortable fit for your horse. Fully adjustable on both sides of the head and around the nose, it’s easy to customize for a perfect fit. Finished with a secure throat clip and sturdy brass fixtures, this high-quality halter is built to last and is perfect for travelling.
3. First Aid Kit
Be prepared for any minor injuries or emergencies with a well-stocked first aid kit specifically designed for horses. Include items such as wound dressings, antiseptic solution, and bandages.
4. Water and Feed Buckets
Keep your horse hydrated and fed during travel by bringing along water and feed buckets. Make sure to offer water regularly and provide hay, haylage, or familiar feed to prevent digestive issues.
5. Hat, Gloves and Footwear
When traveling with your horse, safety and comfort should always come first—both for you and your equine companion. Wearing a properly fitted riding helmet is essential to protect your head in case of any unexpected situations. Riding gloves offer better grip and control, ensuring a secure hold on the reins, especially during long journeys or unpredictable conditions. Additionally, choosing suitable footwear, such as sturdy, supportive boots with a heel, is key for comfort and safety while handling your horse. Together, these essential items help you stay safe and in control, no matter where your travels take you.

Created from a perfect equilibrium of lightweight and durable materials whilst balancing the all-important aspect of safety, the outer shell of this helmet is sculpted from a sleek ABS shell which provides exceptional durability but is incredibly lightweight.

6. Coolers and Sheets
Depending on the weather conditions, pack appropriate blankets, rugs, or sheets to keep your horse comfortable during the journey. Protect them from cold temperatures or excessive heat.
The Buster Fleece Vecto Edition
Exclusively crafted in navy, this fleece/travel rug combines traditional colours and stylish lines, making it perfect for both team and individual embroidery.

7. Tack and Grooming Supplies
Don't forget to bring along your horse's tack and grooming supplies for any necessary adjustments during travel or grooming once you are at your destination. Keep everything organized and easily accessible.
By ensuring you have the right equipment and protection when traveling with your horse, you can make the journey safe and stress-free for both you and your equine companion.
