I have a indoor show cross i want to go to on sat, horse only been ridden once this week as it is SO windy!!

I never travel in the wagon in winds, however i often see other wagons - how dangerous is driving a wagon in the wind??
 
I would carry on and ride. Wether your trailer/box is safe depends on the winds near you and wether you are towing or in a lorry. A trailer in the wind can be a little more dangerous I think. With the winds as they are around here (south glos) I would have no worries about carrying on as normal!
 
i ride in any weather (unless really icy etc ;)) but i wont trailer in high winds - if the local bridges are shut to high sided vehicles i'd not trailer
 
I ride no matter what the weather. Rode my 5yr old tb last night who hasn't been ridden properly for days as he was injured. Gales were 50mph and he was fine! I just get on with it.
I wouldn't tow a trailer in high winds though, would take the 3.5 ton lorry out but not a trailer.
I don't know where u live but the gales are meant to ease by tomorrow x
