Location: Beaverlodge, Alberta | Hi We are travelling from northern Alberta, Canada to Casa Grande,Arizona and would like to know where overnight facillities are for our horse. If anyone has done this, please let us know where some places are. We are going south from Lethbridge, through Great Falls on highway 15 to Pocatello and then west to Twin Falls, and south to Wells, Ely, Las Vegas and Kingman. Thanks |

Location: Missouri | Probably your best bet would be to map out how long you want to drive, then pick a town that would have fairgrounds using google and street view. Just about every fairground will make arrangements for a fee or sometimes free to unload and stay the night. |

Location: Northern Utah | There are numerous places in Utah. Most all the county equine centers offer stalls for transient horses passing thru. Stalls usually rent for $10 a night From North to South along I-15 Golden Spike Center in Ogden UT Legacy Center in Framington UT Salt Lake County EquestrianvCernter in West Jordan UT Spanish Fork Fair Grounds in Spanish Fork Washington County Equestrian Center in Hurricane UT More Details at http://www.allhorseutah.com/utaharenas.php I can strongly recommend Hafens Happy Horse Motel in Washington UT for a small private horse motel. I would suspect you could find the same details in South East Idaho. With fairgrounds in Idaho Falls, Blackfoot or Pocatello |

Location: Northern Utah | Another suggestion is that 75% of Utah is public land, I rarely stay at fairgrounds, But just pull off into the trees and primative camp. |

Location: central IL | When we travel long distances with the horse, we use www.horsemotel.com and www.horsetrip.com to find places to overnight. We've been doing this for years and have never had a bad experience. Of course, some places are nicer than others, but then as long as they're safe and clean plus easy to get into and out of, then that's what is important. Call ahead to make sure the owners have room. Good luck. |

Location: Missouri | And if all of that fails and your best laid schedule gets messed up, you can pull into just about any truck stop, go all the way to the back and leave the horses in the trailer and spend the night there. We do that more than another location. If we happen to be close to a fairgrounds, Cabellos or the like, we use them, otherwise, the truck stops or rest areas are good locations. I don't like the rest areas, because most trucks there will leave their trucks running, and it's hard to stay away from them in the confined space. |
