A bit of an idiotic question I'm sure...

[The mad TB]

... But I really don't know the answer!

We have a 2 to 3 horse lorry that is nice and spacious and stable and is only ever used to travel 1 horse, if you put down enough bedding and protected the horse, could he sleep in it overnight? (like at a show?) it's probably bigger than his stable

Late night musing eh?

We often take out the partition of our rice trailer and bed down our shettie in it at shows. We leave fleece wrap-arounds on for protection and make sure he has bankings. It's common practise at shetland shows so don't see why not with a bigger horse providing the space was large enough

Assuming its not an idiot likely to do something stupid & its a big heavy box, rather than a low roofed or light trailer then yes. My old boss used to stick his kids two ponies in boxes if he had too many horses in & needed their stables. And I know a few people who do it when competing ponies.

A lot of overnight shows have a rule of no horses to be kept on the lorry overnight so check the schedules. Personally I wouldn't although tempted as stabling can be expensive.
