Going on a horse packing trip into the mountains is always an exciting time. You must think ahead and remember to pack things you will need while camping. The important things to remember or those things that you must do like packing your packs evenly so that the weight is distributed evenly on each side of the horse. Not only do you need food for yourself, but for your horses because you may not end up in an area with enough for your horses to graze on. Your pack, tie downs and blankets need to be of good quality so not to sore your horses. When unsaddling horse try to turn blankets upside down to air out and keep them off the ground if possible.
When your horses are left to graze make sure you hobble them or have them tied (drop line) that will allow them to move enough to graze. But keep in mind that some horse are able get untied and some are able to run in hobbles.
So,if you don't pay attention you may find yourself chasing your horses back home.
