1) Move them all to a pen relatively close to your method of transport, or make it easier to mark them for free roaming upon evac.
2) If you're riding your horses out, please plan a course of action and multiple routes to take if things go bad. If you have your phone on you, feel free to check in every so often or ask for a trailer to meet you somewhere. If you're using this site as a check in line, we can make it so that if we dont hear from you every 2 hours or whatever we can send in people to help or contact your in case of emergency numbers. Please be safe and dont hesitate to post here for help.
3) Make a go bag. Put vet supplies (vet wrap, hibitane, blue kote, etc.), hoof picks, brushes, treats, valued tack, etc. in it. Even if youre riding out, can toss it in a family members truck.
4) Load feeding and watering essentials. Buckets or Tubs. Grain/Mash mixtures if you want to take them. Square bales.
5) Portable fencing, if you have it. That will come in handy.
6) Vet Records, Ownership Papers, Registry Papers, etc.
7) If marking animals for evac, there are a few options. There is taking a sharpie and writing your name and number on hooves. Some have halters with contact info. Some are braiding tags in manes, or spray painting the animals body with their phone number. Method is up to you. Remember that plastic melts, as do hooves if the tempature of the ground is hot enough.
