Trailering mare to new barn?
Well in 2 weeks or so im moving my mare to a new barn and she will be in the trailer for a longer time than she normally is! I was already planning on putting her bell boots on and was wondering if it would be best to put her polo wraps on too! The ride will be almost an hour from the old barn to the new barn. She has gone from florida to pennsylvania before but at that time they use shipping boots and the works. I was just going to use polos on her and her bell boots, would this be good for the short ride? Or does she not even need them.

Probably not needed unless she has a habit of scrambling in the trailer. Bell boots are a good idea. I routinely haul horses without wraps, so long as it's not a multi-day trip. If you do wrap, I'd advise shipping boots, not polo wraps, because you are an inexperienced hauler and a polo wrap that comes undone can be a disaster.

At my barn we trailered the horses for two hours to reach the show without anything on ther legs so you don't need to unless she doesn't like being in a trailer

Those would be good, but it wouldn't be bad if you didn't, but it is better to for the horse's sake.
