👉 Tip: If your horse doesn't like the taste of strange water, bring some from home to keep them happy and hydrated at Pony Club.

Why is this important? Horses need 20-55 litres of fresh water daily. When the weather is warm, just a few hours without water can lead to colic. So always ensure your horse has access to clean water 😀

Feed, float, feed

Travel can be stressful for horses. There are several reasons not to give your horse a haynet or hard feed while he is on the move. The ideal solution is to feed him, transport him, then feed him again. Here’s why:

- Some vets believe that feeding horses during travel can increase the risk of travel sickness.

- In a float or truck, the horse cannot put his head down to clear saliva or, if he hasn't chewed enough, to cough and clear food so he doesn't choke.

1. Feed before you float
Just as you should feed a horse before you ride him, you should feed him some forage (such as hay) before you float him. If you travel him when his stomach is empty he is more vulnerable to damage caused by too much stomach acid. The acid can splash onto the sensitive upper section of the stomach which could lead to gastric ulceration (stomach ulcers).

2. If you need to feed on the road – stop for a break
If you are travelling a long distance, you should stop to feed and water your horse at least every 3-4 hours and give him a short rest period. (See the PCA Horse Welfare Policy on our website). If it is safe to unload him, and you know he will load again easily, you could give him a walk around and a pick of grass. Allowing the horse to graze with its head down in the natural grazing position will allow the horse to drain their sinuses, decreasing the chance of respiratory infections. (Remember drivers should have a break every two hours.)

If you are on a longer journey and unable to unload the horse for a break, try to lower the chest rail to allow the horse to drop its head from time to time.

3. Feed on arrival
A horse should be nibbling food for around 13 hours a day, so give him a haynet after travel. Chances are you are arriving at Pony Club or a competition, so he will need food in his stomach before being ridden.
