Welcome to the Winter 2025 issue of USRider® Equestrian Traveler’s Companion, your mobile resource for all things related to your travels with your equine companion.
In this season of giving, we tell you how to organize a charity ride to benefit a nonprofit, a cause or group, or a fellow horseperson in need of a leg up. For those of you in the Snow Belt, you’ll find a handy checklist on safe winter hauling from trailering expert Rebecca Gimenez-Husted, PhD. You’ll also find ways to keep your barn ventilated this winter to help keep your horse healthy and comfortable.
The weather outside may be frightful, but it’s never too soon to start planning your next equestrian adventure. For a smooth travel experience, follow our five-step planning and preparation guide, and trip-countdown checklist.
