I bought my 5 year old ISH a year ago from a friend who is a mile down the road and travelled him in my lorry. He loaded fine but was extremely stressed and kicked constantly in the lorry. Prior to this, he had come over from Ireland and wouldn't have travelled or had much of anything done with him. A short time later he came up to Scotland. I don't think travelling has been a positive experience in the past and has normally meant a new home. The past few weeks I have been loading him, feeding him in lorry, working up to putting partition across and the ramp up. Today, I took him round the block (2 miles) and it was horrendous. He kicked constantly with front and back legs and I was terrified he would hurt himself. Once home he was drenched with sweat and very stressed. So has anyone got any suggestions? He is a very sensitive, stressy horse in general. I think I'm going to try nupafeed calmer and continue with trying to get him used to the lorry. Has anyone used this calmer with success?
