Wildfires seem to be more commonplace these days for a number or reasons: intense temperatures, lightning strikes and other natural occurances.

Here are some ideas to think about:
-
Identify in advance which horses are going to be prioritized for evacuation and ensure all these horses are properly trained for evacuation. Decide how they will be transferred and who can help you move your horses.
-
Eliminate any combustible covering or materials that may be attached to your horses. Steer clear of metallic materials.

Prepare way in advance in your evacuation plan the destination for your horses. This may be a friend’s Wellington equestrian property, race track, a park or a field. Of course you will need to discuss and seek permission in advance. Always get your agreements in writing.

Always ID your horses. Create a folder that you can upload to cloud storage with your horse's medical records, their lineage and other important papers pertaining to your horses. You can then access the cloud storage from anywhere as long as you can get access to a computer that is online.

Create an emergency fund for the horses. This can be valuable in supplying your horses their basics needs until everything returns to normal.
