Camp with my horse?

Question

I am going to horse camp in 2 weeks, and i am bringing my horse, Broker. He will stay the night there for a week. what do i bring for him and me?

Answer 1

You do not say what kind of camp this is...I will tell you what i bring when I camp.  Many times I camp in just a field, or woods, or somewhere by a river or stream...it is called primitive camping.  I keep my trailer stocked at all times, with hay, bring enough hay (1/2 bale per day per horse) plus a couple of bales just in case.  If you know that there will be no stream or water, bring a barrel of water in the trailer.  Enough feed for the planned stay plus again in case of emergency stay.  Of course tack, and grooming bag,fly sheets or blankets since the horse will be picketed with out shelter.  PIcket line too.  I prefer to feed hay off the ground if it is not wet and muddy, then I use the hay net.  

Bug spray, for you and the horse.  Fly mask.  Saddle bags.  Treats for the horse if you and the horse are in the habit.  Cell phone and map of trails, and a GPS if you are going out on all day trails and unfamiliar trails.  I will not go into what you need, you know what you are comfortable wearing.  Bring lots of food that is easy to carry in the saddle bag for those breaks and lunches on the trail.  I prefer to BBQ and cook outside rather than gum up the walls and ceilings of the trailer.  Yeah I know...roughing it huh?   lol  Good luck with you get away...a 2 week stay is great for starting out on.  You will get the bug and get further away from home for longer periods...last summer I left with my horse and did not get back home for 7 weeks..have fun.

If it is overnight, you will want to bring a saddle, briddle, and a halter. Your stable should provide food and water. I went to horse camp last week and brought my horse.

EVERYTHING... things that you use on a daily basics with him (things that travel)... you could also call the camp and see what they will provide :-D

have fun at your camp

Answer 9

All that you can to make you both feel at home and less stressed.

Answer 10

Horse feed but bear in mind that he may be doing more work than he normally does so he may need more

Rugs who knows what the weather is gonna do esp in england!

All of your tack

Fly spray

Grooming stuff

Do you need bedding if hes to be stabled?

And any other things which you use on a regular basis with your horse like your horse might have a sweetie ball which he may have when hes stabled and i am sure that he wouldnt be happy if you forgot that.

It would also be good to have your farrier and vets no in case of emergeny.

Then make sure that you have jods and boots or what ever you ride in.  Then wellies or muckers for yard duties.  Dont forget your hat and body procector and make sure that you have some chillin out clothes as you wont be riding all day.

Have fun!

Answer 11

Everything but the kitchen sink... lol jk

Everything that you would use on a daily basis, grooming, feeding, toys, tack, riding apparel,  etc.. etc...

Edit: Don't forget about yourself either you will want a toothbrush, cloths, towel, shampoo, snacks and other personal care items brings some band-aids too.

Don't forget to have fun!!
