A quick question....

Any tips on how you do it pls

Tricky one - I used a bale of straw laid down on the floor to stop one of my little ponies going under. He could still get his head under, but the straw stopped him from actually walking under - just! I used a bale of woodchips another time, but that takes up more space and it depends what you have next door.

The only way you can tie up is to have an extra long piece of baling twine. Make sure you don't leave it dangling for the next horse though - I tied knots in mine most of the way down so it made one long piece of string - that way no-one could rear up and get a leg caught in it.

BTW, when you say horse box, do you mean lorry with herringbone, or a trailer? Breast bar is what you have in a trailer - if it's your trailer, it is possible to make adjustments or hang something down over it to stop anything walking under. But some things you can't account for. I once had a daft ex-riding school pony that panicked and squeezed himself out of the jockey door - at my first ever pony club rally
