Camping & Trail Riding with Your Horse

So, you've decided to take your horse along camping. It will open up new trail riding adventures for you.
Before taking off down the "dusty trail," please do prepare and plan your adventure.
If you're an experienced outdoors person, awesome! If not, don't be discouraged. Remember, when you take a horse camping with you, it opens up a new dimension to the adventure.
To get an idea as to what's involved, discuss the don't and the do's with experienced horse camping people.
Never camped with a horse? Then the ideal situation would be to go with someone who is experienced. Join a group of people who are going overnight. Let them know that it's your first time camping and you would like to be placed with the experienced people in the group. Not only are those people experienced, but their horses are well seasoned which would give a measure of confidence to your horse as well.
Think about joining a horse club or organization. You'll get the support and the "know how" you need to get started. A wonderful thing about horse camping people? They are so willing to help a novice get started. Enjoy your adventure, and stay safe!
