This is why I have always hated these vans

oh good lord how awful

 

[stencilface]

I'll be honest I wasn't sure if the horse was alive or not when I first started watching!

 

[doratheexplorer]

B***** nora, how on EARTH did that poor horse manage to get himself into that pickle?!

 

[CobsGalore]

How on earth did the horse end up like that? What type of box is this!?

 

[sarahann1]

Wow, that's scary....poor horse, hope it was ok in the end.

 

[misterjinglejay]

Thought the horse was dead to start with, it was so still, and it's poor neck!

 

[carthorse]

Lucky horse to have that clever man around, at least that box had a wide enough back door to allow him out . Some of the older ones had narrow rear doors. Hope the horse was ok

I'd guess that he was travelling facing backwards, had jumped/climbed the solid breast bar and then got himself thoroughly wedged. I did wonder if they had considered taking the breast section out and getting him out that way but perhaps removing it would have taken longer.

I'm also not sure it is a problem exclusive to these types of vans... plenty of pics of ponies trying to come out the front of ifors too.

Cripes! Wonder who that guy was - he was very calm and brave doing that. The things some horses do and manage to get away with!!!

And that's why our lorry is completely closed off at the back

 

[melbiswas]

Thought it was sedated. Poor thing.

Wonder if a top-loader could get my mare INTO my trailer..........

 

[el_Snowflakes]

Worryingly he looked like he(man) might have done it before. Very well done.

Mine to....the first thing i did when i bought the box was put a wall up so the horse couldnt jump over and into the grooms area! BF thought i was overreacting.....ive just showed him this video

 

[SonnysHumanSlave]

YIKES!

I returned to the lorry whilst out hunting one day years ago, put horse on the lorry, and it tried to jump the partition, and go stuck halfway!!!

Nightmare, those walls are not that high, its not surprising horse suddenly decides to go over it. :s
