Another ‘must-have’ for every trip is your documentation, make sure you contact your vet before your trip and ask him what vaccination records you may need in the states you’ll be traveling to. You can find each state’s requirements online and prepare a folder with everything you might be asked for. Most often than not you’ll be able to drive through most states without presenting documentation but it’s better to be safe than sorry!
INSIGHTS: Veterinary teams and retailers may wish to share the link or the list to help horse haulers prepare for cross-country hauls. One company that helps organize the paperwork required to transport across state lines is GlobalVETLink. The services make transporting easier for horse owners and their veterinarians.
