FAQ

Quick rehydration routine on arrival?

Walk out 5–10 minutes, offer plain water and an electrolyte mix side-by-side, then hay. Re-offer in 20–30 minutes and top off before you leave the barn.

What if wraps keep slipping?

Use thinner product, ensure hair is dry before wrapping, increase overlap, and recheck tension. Consider shipping boots for simplicity.

Which documents must be in the trailer?

Current Coggins, health certificate (if required), vaccination records per show rules, and a contact card with vet/farrier/emergency numbers.


Load once. Roll confident.

Keep your travel kit tight and trusted—no sting, no smell, wrap-friendly once absorbed.
