What this sheet is for

Record journeys and the pre-loading checks, which is both good practice and, for longer or commercial journeys, often a requirement.

Who it is for

Anyone travelling horses to competitions, sales, yards or the vet.

How to use it

  1. Complete the loading checks before the ramp goes up, not after.
  2. Record departure and arrival times for each leg.
  3. Note water offered at stops.
  4. Record the horse's condition on arrival, honestly.

What is on the sheet

The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.

Questions

What are the rules on transporting horses?

They differ by country and can bite sooner than people expect — journey time limits, documentation, transporter authorisation and whether the journey counts as commercial can all apply to trips people think of as private. Check before you load.
