Hay and water on the road
This is the general idea that a horse needs access to hay and water on a journey.
What is it for?
Hay keeps the gut working and water prevents dehydration on longer trips.
More about this item
A haynet gives something to do and keeps digestion moving, though hay hung low or dampened gives off less dust. Offer water regularly on longer trips; some horses drink poorly away from home. Damp or steamed hay reduces dust that irritates the airways.
