As you may or may not know PF is going to Buenos Aires this evening. Trip is 800km and as she's a slightly nervous traveller (after falling in trailer last year) I want to bandage her BUT I don't know if transport peeps can be relied on to check them properly...
So.... best to leave them off entirely?
Put them on and make transport people swear on the bible to check them?
Leave them off because the transport people will probably swear on the bible just so you leave them alone and probably WON'T check the bandages...
Any other suggestions?
 
You remember partly right; she was barefoot in the UK, but not any more.
Why does it make a difference if she's barefoot or not?
I'll leave 'em off then. Thanks

We used to transport mares to and from Coolmore on a regular basis. If you think how many megabucks they would have been with their foals and none of them have ever been bandaged. I know a slightly shorter distance than yours but I wouldn't hesitate to not bandage her as long as you are happy with the actual transport/ers. I think you could cause more problems if you did bandage her than if you didn't.
Good luck whatever you decide; hope she has a smooth trip.
