Can someone please tell me how you travel your horse in a trailer (ifor double) and transport a wheelbarrow and tools for mucking out please. I've never been on camp before and have no idea at all. Thanks in advance

Not sure if this works in an Ifor (as I know some have a tack locker in the front). In my Nugent, I can stand the barrow on its handles, trap the tools (and my coralling fencing set up) behind and tie it to the front window bars with bale twine. I ride Endurance and can often be away for three or four days at a time - its amazing what you can make fit when you have to!

Bungees to secure them all to the wall is what we used to do, we also used bales of hay or haylage to wedge them in

Would a 40 litre skip bucket work? And lined with an empty feed bag it will provide storage for nets, grooming kit, etc..

I often used to borrow a barrow at camp I always had a poo turf though and a picker upper! I used to live going to camp.

Just remember that things are hard work when you are away. Your equipment might be a long walk from the stables and you get very tired walking backwards and forwards. I got a folding wheelbarrow that I used to transport things and then mucked out into a trug or something. Or you can get wheeled trolleys. Anything to make life easier!

It does as I do the same! Mine has no partition in as he prefers to travel without so tools in wheelbarrown on end and bungeed up - with a partition in I used to put it on the empty side and tie up securely, with tools in the nose secured

I don't take a wheelbarrow or a broom. I take a couple of old feed bags, rubber gloves, plastic shovel, poopscoop and rake. Assuming horse is bedded on shavings, I poopscoop each morning and rake the "walls" down to cover any wet. Don't lift or remove any wet till final day when emptying stable at which point I use gloves and the big plastic shovel to gather it all into the feedbacks which I drag or carry to empty time and time again onto the manure heap.

Wheeled folding trolley works well if you buy a decent quality. I put an empty feed bag in the base for mucking out, take a couple if you want to keep clean, then everything else fits in the trolley if you have to transport from A - B. Definitely a good investment if you’re going away a lot.

I've started doing this - the folding trolley lives permanently in my little lorry so I don't need to worry about remembering everything. I use a garden bag for the mucking out - it sits in the folding trolley and makes emptying out onto the muck heap easy. The last camp I was on had a long walk from lorry to stables and I had many admiring / envious comments about the trolley as I hauled my stuff back and forth!

I ratchet strap my wheelbarrow to the spare wheel, which is bolted to the inside wall of my equitrek. It's on the opposite side to the horse so no issue with getting legs in. Then my tools tuck down between the tyre and the barrow.
