With the change of seasons come extra duties. If we are travelling we have to take into account bad weather and also be ready for changing conditions, particularly if we're going through different regions of the nation, or through much higher elevations. Whenever you’re travelling with your horse at all, whether going to a show or exhibition as an example, you have even more basis for ensuring that your vehicle is in very good condition and you're well prepared for just about any eventuality.
Perhaps you have driven in freezing conditions when towing horse trailers? Probabilities are you haven't, so since a much colder winter time is forecast you must do some research to assist you to recognise precisely how to drive in snow and ice. Fundamentally, you should keep a very good distance from other motorists, so you don't have to panic when you have to stop quite quickly. You should ensure the trailer is loaded appropriately at all times and perform a once over to make sure that things are in great condition. Tyre pressures are really critical and you should note that a different sort of pressure might be indicated for much cooler conditions instead of warmer months.
It's a wise decision to take the towing vehicle in for a service as well and you might as well replace the battery when you do so. A weak battery mightn't withstand the rigours of cold-weather driving and you certainly shouldn't be broken down by the side of the road in harsh conditions, particularly with your horse with you.
Winter may not be the perfect season for engaging with your horse in the more traditional sense, but it is the best time of the year to perform some equestrian housekeeping, as it were. You will certainly have to be sure that you have the correct variety and weight of horse rugs available for those cold nights, but you may also want to get ready for next season by buying a new pair of jodhpurs or riding boots. In the end, we all like to dream of sunnier days and outdoor activities at this time of year.
