  • Horse Packing List
    Horse Packing List Please go through the entire packing list and make sure that you have all of the required equipment. This will help to make the entire trip more pleasant and fun for everyone. Suggested equipment is not necessary but can help make participants and horses more comfortable. Just because we are traveling in the summer time does not mean that the weather is always going to be warm. It is very possible, especially at the higher elevation camps, to have cold and wet days. It has been known to even snow at higher altitudes in the middle of summer. Some of the items listed here are also on the Individual Packing List, and do not necessarily need to be packed twice. However, do make sure that you have an appropriate amount for emergencies. Please make sure to label all items. Any items that are not claimed by the end of the year will be donated. For ease of packing in the trailer it is best to have all personal gear in soft sided bags. The required items are crucial to have packed for the safety and comfort of each person and horse. If you have questions or need help with equipment selection please email or call. GROOMING – Brushes can be shared if space is limited for packing. However, be sure that the other horses do not have anything contagious like fungus. REQUIRED Curry Comb Hard Brush Hoof Pick (need to have one with you on the trail) Insect Repellent SUGGESTED Soft Brush Main and Tail Brush _____________________________________ OPTIONAL Detangler Sweat Scraper _____________________________________ TACK – All tack should be properly fitted to the horse and rider, and checked for safety and excess wear.
