>>1043551Traveling with a horse is a lot of wear and tear on a horse, don't you think? Professional race circuit does it, but they travel in style, rest their animal in good conditions and such.
When you are "into" horses, the trend seems to be that one is actually a fanatic about them. You have a little naivete about it all though. They are rich people's pets and sport, and their days of being work animals are kind of over, we care about animals right a bit more than their usefulness.
I would took a look at "backcountry" type trips, Alaska, national parks, long trail rides, that kind of thing, to get your fill of them moving along with you (with others) for a few nights of little camping trip fun and trail rides. Putting your animal into a trailer, rubbing them down, grooming them, pounds of proper feed, and all that is skipped if you aren't spending the night somewhere appropriate and pre-arranged for support
