Sorry, I'm of no real help - but it sure sounds like a fun trip!

I'm not sure of the "fun" part. The farthest I have ever hauled the big dogs is about 4 hours to the mountains in NC. This is going to be 1,500 miles to Laredo, TX and then about 12 hours to where we are moving. Imagine 4 adults, 4 dogs, 2 horses an RV a truck (2500HD) and 2 trailers.
Don't get me wrong we are looking forward to it, but are also worried about the horses. Water, hay, pooping, leg fatigue, colic. We can take as long as we want since I'll be retired (or is it retarded). Fortunately both our horses are easy keepers. a 9 year old mare and a 14 year old gelding both paints.
I don't think Wal_Mart would like 2 horses in their parking lot over night, but I may be wrong.
If anyone has suggestions for a long haul I am all ears.
