How lush, bet your all excited!

My best tip is not to rush, take it slow and let her settle in at her own pace

When i collected buddy he was only 2, he was a bit scared of the horse box. When he got 2 the yard i just spent a lot of time with him for first few weeks and he soon became really attached to me and now a year on he follows me everywhere like a dog and hes being a angel whilst im breaking him.

well shes never travelled b4 so when she saw` the box she wa like oooh ill have flip! old owners tried too rushher in but i made them wait after half an hour of her efusin so i just sat in trailer with pony nuts and waited for her to come to me after 20 mins she walked straight in herself shut back up and she travelled brill

That is really good then, i never saw buddy be loaded but he was like a wild beast coming out of the box i don't think the past owners had really done any work on him to make travelling any easier. He settled in though was a bit crazy for about half hour gave him few carrots and he calmed down, he was fine after then. I haven't put him in a box since but he has travelled twice by trailer and he was golden so i think it might have been the size of the box which scared him.
