Before you haul your horse, be sure to review our pre-trip checklist to make sure you have everything you need for your horse trailer.

• Wheel bearings serviced? (service every 12 mos./12,000 miles, carry spare bearing set).
• Tires in good condition? (look for dry rot, replace every 3-5 years regardless of mileage).
• Check tire pressure (including spares and inside tire on dual wheels).
• Hitch locked on the ball? Correct size ball?
• Safety cables/chains connected?
• Plug and secure electrical connection.
• Connect emergency breakaway system.
• Emergency battery charged?
• Test trailer lighting (brakes, turn signals, running, perimeter).
• Check/test brake controller.
• Prior to loading horse(s), check trailer for hazards.
• Leg wraps, head bumper on horse(s)?
• Secure and lock all trailer doors.
• Headlights on? For greater safety – get noticed.
• Drive safely - allow greater braking distance, and travel at generally slower speeds.
