Mountain Horses on the Road |
I have compiled this list over the last 5 years, after packing and unpacking our horse trailer multiple times to prepare for horse shows or camping with our horses. Until this year, I have added something to the list every time we pack. This year, for the first time, I didn't have to add anything. I hope you find it helpful.
