For travelers with horses, this route offers plenty of opportunities for safe and enjoyable layovers. Whether you’re looking for a cozy overnight stop or a destination ranch, there’s something along I-80 for everyone.

The stops listed here are based on a typical travel schedule of 6–9 hours per day and provide relatively easy access from the highway. Some are full-service destinations, while others offer convenient overnight accommodations for horses and their owners.
Tips for Traveling with Horses Along I-80
- Plan stops ahead of time: Use platforms like Equine Booking to plan stops as Wyoming and Nevada can have long drives with no services.
- Check amenities: Not all stops offer indoor arenas or electricity—plan according to your horse’s needs.
- Travel in segments: Driving 6–9 hours per day is ideal for both you and your horse.
- Bring supplies: While most facilities provide water, but it’s a good idea to carry extra hay, feed, trailer and first-aid supplies.
