B is going for his MRI on Thursday, it'll be about a 3 hour journey each way.
He's being taken down by a horse transporter - the one I am using uses a box rather than a lorry and I've heard lots of good reports so hope I've made the right choice.
B has travelled in a box twice in the 7 years I've had him as I don't have my own transport. He can be a bit funny about loading but both times travelled okay, although did get a little bit sweaty on one occasion but nothing more than a small patch on his neck. He currently isn't clipped and is like a bear as he was out without a rug until mid/late-November and is a native cobby type.
I have travel boots, tail wrap etc. What else will I need to bring (other than myself, B and insurance documents, of course!) and would it be an idea to maybe bib/strip clip B for the travelling down? He currently isn't in work, and depending on results of the MRI may be going back out to the field so not sure what to do.
