Horse Hauling Tips

Hey y'all! I've been asked a lot of questions about hauling horses and supplements for them and all. This puts quite a bit of information in one place for those asking. There is some pretty general information in here regarding hauling too, but it can't hurt to say too much when it comes down to truck/trailer maintenance and your horse's health hauling.
I'm hoping to make some new training content soon, my plans with my CA EMM mustang have been messed up, so all my video ideas are on hold :(
I envisioned this year and my TH-cam so different for this year, but sometimes things change (thanks Coronavirus). I'm open to any suggestions for videos. If you have any questions on hauling, please feel free to leave a comment!
Thanks for watching!

Good Video Sam! I'd love a trailer clean out video and also a tack video would be cool, I think! :-)

[@ravensreflections1660]

This is a good subject . I can not even comprehend driving a trailer or how to learn. But as my 2nd career ended up being in transportation I know about vehicle maintenance. You should change your oil and check brakes and do other preventative maintenance checks every 3000 miles. You should also be checking your oil between oil changes as well as coolant because of the kind of work your engine is doing and because of the amount of miles you are putting on the truck.

Gatorade tip = smart.

[@redfailhawk]

KarenInCalif wondering if this works for dogs, too, but obviously in smaller doses.

Thank you Sam! I miss my Natural Horsemanship Classes - Corona Virus closed but I called and the horses and staff they could keep on are well. I have residents in congregate housing where I work who are sick or I'd ask if you were open to an observer if you get up north and restriction lessen. I'm going to be tested for the antibodies because my doctor can do that but not for the virus without symptoms. Stay well!

[@danaadler5532]

Excellent, thanks Sam!

[@whitneyfindorff3676]

Your content is great and super helpful! My OTTB just learned to bow following your tips. Can you post a video of how to naturally trailer load a horse with sticky feet? My OTTB mare just refuses to put her back feet in. I don’t use treats or chase behind. Thanks!!!!

[@dylankandrick1904]

Wow, I’m first but I don’t know what to say 😅

[@Mulesandmustangs]

Solid information

[@thehorsesofindia]

Great information 👍

[@rubiconoutdoors3492]

Lol, im here in CT, 15 the merrit parkway is a pain in the ass. 👍🏻

[@kelliemorgan8407]

Sam, regarding hauling in box stalls - do you find horses have better balance than in a slant load or a straight load or is there no difference and do you have concerns that the horses are in a stall but not secured, especially if you were to have some sort of incident? Thank you as always for sharing...

[@Mary-wj5ti]

Hi Sam. Just wondering, were you nervous when you first started towing? How did you build your courage? I'm getting a converted van (UK) and I'm terrified at the thought having only driven smaller vehicles. Horse isnt the best to load either, thanks

[@annegulbransen3961]

Also need a health certificate when traveling to Kentucky!

[@makmak151515]

Whinny water and Gatorade. Boy has he got you trained. That’s a mother for you

[@jenniferbell4571]

How do you water a feral mustang when pick up is 6-10 hrs from the end destination?

[@nezabazivlogs8332]

Nice

[@grijalva06]

In love.

[@ghettoyeti50]

[@susanviup5006]

Do you feed Oat hay, Timothy, and sometimes mixed with orchard even when you aren't on the road? Just curious! Thanks so much!

[@SamVanFleet]

When I'm in Florida, I feed oat hay.

[@grijalva06]

[@ericgrajeda2671]

Do u need a special license to transport horses....

Hey Sam, I don't mean to be a Debbie Downer here, but do you think you could re-think the flashing on your VanFleet Mustangs logo in the intro? Context: sensitivity to flashing images, possible seizures for epileptic people etc.

[@adelinenicholas7075]

Debbie Downer you're OCD.

[@tinyhats]

Possibly.

[@Polopony20.]

@@adelinenicholas7075 or maybe they actually have a serious medical condition triggered by flashing lights.

[@Mary-wj5ti]

Flashing lights don't actually cause seizures, it's a myth

[@dianehutcheson5931]

I see you died your hair, I think the lighter hair color was pretty on you 👍🏻😊🤷🏼‍♀️

[@SamVanFleet]

My friend wanted to see me with dark hair and told me it was temporary... turns out it wasn’t temporary 😂
