Is it necissary?

[maddielove]

To use a full width breaching bar (sp?) when travelling with the partition swung to one side in a trailer?

Dad is refusing to travel the horse like this as she believes she will be much more comfortable in as tight a space as possible...i dont think this will be the case...

It is safer to remove the partition and have a full width breach and breast bar.

Don't leave the partion swung across. Take it out, put in full width breast and breeching bars.

Once the ramp is up I dont think it is too bad not to have a breech bar at all,.... obviously you need a breast bar, but once the ramp is up I cant see the problem.... unless its rear unload, in which case you would need to be careful that the horse didnt flatten you when you put the ramp down for unloading

Looks like my dads going to be buying a new trailer as I think she'll be kicking it to bits after 4 hours!

I have a rice trailer with the full length wooden partition. My mare prefers lots of room, so if she's travelling alone I swing the partition over at the back and tie it with the breech straps to secure. She prefers it this way and have never had any problems
