Shipping Wraps Vs. Horse Travel Boots
The traditional way to protect your horse’s legs while transporting is to use a set of oversized no bow wraps or pillow wraps + a standing bandage. Collectively known as a shipping wrap, this combination of cotton and foam is quite useful if you know how to put them on. Consequently, the downside is the time involved to put on and take off. Shipping bandages are also not quite as easy to clean up. As for protection, shipping wraps and shipping boots provide nearly the same amount of protection. Some would argue that the shipping bandages provide more support, while the shipping boots provide more impact protection and overall coverage.
Professional Horse Transport
While important, getting a good pair of travel boots for horses is just the beginning. If your plan is a long haul to a show, hiring a professional hauler might be necessary. Trainers typically provide some sort of show hauling service. We all trust our trainers but, protect both of you by making sure they’re insured and have not allowed that insurance to lapse.
If you’re retaining a professional hauler, due to some less than reliable business out there, be sure they’re licensed (have a US Department of Transportation ‘DOT’ number). Using that DOT number, check their motor carrier safety and performance data through the FMCSA so you can get the facts. On the FMCSA website, you can punch in the DOT number or business name. It will give you all kinds of especially relevant information about the business. Furthermore, you can use their DOT number to reference their insurance information through the FMCSA’s “licensing and insurance” website. As a result, a few minutes of due diligence can save you a ton of hurt in the long run.
