How would you move your horse if...

My husband, Matt, is a volunteer firefighter, and he gave me some food for thought regarding a potential article topic. But as a start, I thought it might be valuable to talk about it here. That topic is what to do with your horse in an emergency?
Matt told me about two horses that had been near a brush fire that his department had handled just a few days ago. They had been running around in the smoke, not quite knowing what to do. So I'm going to look at this from my perspective if I needed to move my horse (which, by the way, is the stunning American Paint named Docs Gold Olena, Lena for short, in the photo below). 

First, I'd ask myself, "Is my horse trailer broke?" There would be nothing more frustrating than needing to move her in an emergency and finding out that when push came to shove, I couldn't get her in the trailer (because I certainly can't push her into it!). This actually brought up a concern, because the last time I loaded Lena, she stubbornly refused to load the way I know she can and should.
Lena was last trailered out to have her feet trimmed at my in-law's place. She loaded that first time beautifully, stepping onto the trailer exactly the way I expect her to. She stayed a few days there, then when I went to return her home, suddenly, my perfectly behaved mare decided that she did not want to leave her pals, Jo and Soxs, and that getting on that trailer was not her priority.
This would be a huge problem if I needed to load her in a hurry!
So after she finally loaded and we returned home, Lena was subjected to several more practice rounds, getting into and out of my trailer. And I promised her more practice sessions until she never refuses, ever again (and I am that serious about it!). If there were a fire and she had to move immediately, I could not have her refusing to load.
Next, would I know where to go with my horse? Often, I see horses being taken to the nearest fairgrounds for temporary housing, so do I know where the nearest fairgrounds that can accommodate my horse are? Considering the size of the Denver metro area, I would actually have several choices. Even at this moment, I don't actually have addresses or specific directions to any of the nearby fairgrounds, so I guess I have my own homework!
Or, if I decide not to take her to the fairgrounds, what's the next option? I would have my in-laws place to take her to, which honestly would be my first choice because it would limit her exposure to other horses that may carry contagious diseases. I also have friends that have property where I could house her, so that would be another option.
The idea of communicable diseases leads me to this: Are Lena's vaccinations up to date? This is an easy "Yes" because I am religious about her shot schedule. She sees the vet twice a year, no questions asked. However, since I'm not showing or using her on a regular basis, her Coggins is not up-to-date, so I guess that gives me something to think about!
{As a side note, my mare also gets a yearly visit from Dr. Scott Marx, an equine dentist who I highly recommend!}
In my humble horse-owning opinion, those three things would be the first things I'd want taken care of in an emergency. And since I now hear my daughter waking up from her nap, I think I'd better leave it at that!
Happy trails, horse lovers, and have you hugged your horse today?
