I've recently discovered I'm going camping sometime in mid - late December. (This is all assuming the weather is good!) I was wondering if anyone thinks it's a bad idea to bring a horse or two. There are fantastic trails out there, but no boarding facilities or anything. There would be a cabin for the people but they didn't make them big enough to bring my horses in! And the beds aren't big enough either! Can you believe it?

Well anyway, what should I do? I know plenty of people take their horses camping, but what do you do with them? Tie them? Or if the option is available, stick them in the trailer overnight? What's the best approach? The trip would only be for 2 or 3 days (1 or 2 nights).

So what do you need for camping trips like this? I know of course the grain... but should I bring a feed bag or a bucket? What should I do for water? How much rope should they have when tied? Should I bring blankets? What do I do in case it suddenly, unpredictably starts raining or snowing?

I wish they just made cabins big enough for horseys... and horse sized beds would be cool. Heehee.

Thanks much!
