Help! Travelling a tiny shetti/minature

[lisan]

Suggestions please, he is about 8hh - so tie rings too high, he will be able to run under the partition - will it be OK for his owner to stand in the back with him??? Just giving them a lift to their new yard, only about 4 miles away.

I would remove your partition and tie a piece of bailing string through the hole in your partition rack and tie him to that. Failing that remove partition and travel loose

I'd travel him lose (obviously take partition out)

 

[lisan]

Never thought of that, brilliant idea! Have a spare stash of bailing twine somewhere! Thank you

I would make them walk or failing that leave loose with partions removed

He's only a baby (9 mths) and can be very naughty to lead, will take a piccie tonight, but he nips, rears and occaisionally kicks out! And she would have to walk him through a town centre - that would be quite amusing

I just had visions of him running through into the living and sticking his head into the cab! I always travel May with the living door pinned back and a bar across - she likes to talk to me sometimes!

Don't tie him, leave him loose with no partitions

lol. rescued a foal once of the common.. mum had abandoned it, RSPCA didn't have trailer so it was put in the back of the car

(only a mile) to the stables ..

If hes only 9 months i would leave him loose. Dont tie him especially if he is know to rear!!!

Wouldnt advice anyone travelling in the back. Its not far but accidents happen very easily.

I travel my pony lose - not sure if I'm meant to but the rings are too high and the breast bar is hard to move.
