How to make moving less stressful for my horse!?

We always try and trailer a horse in the morning so they have the whole day to adjust to their paddock and new surroundings, I don't think the move would be all that stressful unless your horse hates to be trailered. We don't ride our horses the day they are put in their new paddock, but the day after is fine. As long as your horse has shelter, food, water and company then I don't think there would be much stress on the horse at all unless it is an insanely long drive. If there is more than one horse, try and keep them together during the move if that's possible, that way she will feel more safe knowing her friend is there. If it's a long drive look into getting some boots or wraps for her.

Do you show her at all? If she shows/clinics regularly, or even just is trailered to lessons regularly, the move should only be slightly stressful and you should be able to ride her regularly the day after you move, assuming the trip wasn't too strenuous.

However, if she never leaves the farm, it will be considerably more stressful. If she has a buddy- Another horse, or a certain cow if you keep any of them together- keeping her with that buddy will reduce the level of stress. Past that, just make sure you have everything ready when you bring her, so that you don't have to have her tied to the trailer for an hour in a strange place while you try to get some hay out or something. Turn her out or stall her (Whatever you usually do at home) and leave her alone- She'll probably be fine, and not care, but as a safe bet I'd wait at least a couple days before riding her again. Keep in mind, this is assuming she's never left the farm before.

So basically the only thing that will be different to the horse is geographical location. since it is moving to another farm it will not be across the continent...more or less a few miles away perhaps. This is going to be an easy adjustment to the horse. You will be still part of her life...I don't see a problem at all. You could ride her the next day. People worry them selves to death over a horse adjusting to things the horse probably does not even take into account. You might have to adjust to the surroundings, but the horse will be fine. Where ever you put the horse, paddock pasture, stall what ever...throw in the hay and some water, and the horse will be happy.

If your horse is used to going out to shows and stuff then it shouldnt be stressful for him at all. But if he isnt make sure he will load into a trailer before the move because if he doesnt load well that will make it a whole lot more stressful on him. If you keep calm while handling him and have everything organized before the move - aka all his things there and his stall or pasture ready with hay and water it should all go smoothly. Expect him to be a little nervous and excited when you get to the new property but just walk him around and introduce him to the place. Good luck!

The farm you are on has no effect on the horse, it is the people around the animal that make the difference.

give your horse a lot of water and make sure he feels comfortable along the way. Try to stay close by to her during the move so that she feels more safe. She'll probably feel better knowing you're with her. :)

Try putting a hay bag in the with it while you moving. Eating takes their minds of the moving.
