Essentials During Evacuations

In the event of an emergency, preparation is key.  If you are evacuating, here are a few resources that can be useful.

• Emergency Boarding Facilities 
• Evacuation Checklist 
• Use this to make sure you have all the essentials needed for your horse(s) during an emergency.  We highly recommend writing your name on any buckets, halters, lead ropes, etc that you bring!  Some facilities may need you to bring more (water, pitch forks, etc), so be sure to ask.  CLICK HERE for a printable PDF version.

If you would like to order any of these temporary ID's, links are below.  Another quick form of identification is duct taping halters and writing your information on the duct tape.

• Mane Tags
• Neck Straps
• Fetlock Bands
