Good afternoon.
I have a 5 year old welsh C mare
She was a rescue so I do not know about her past but I imagine she must have had some traveling trauma as she will not travel in any form of transport without some vet prescribed sedation. I have got things planned for the end of summer with her which will require her to travel without sedation. What is the best way to get over this. She loads absolutely fine but freaks the moment the doors close and we move off. She will be travelling in a trailer not a lorry so ideally tips trailer related. Thank you

What does she do once you move off? Have you tried her in a variety of vehicles eg lorry and trailer? Is it the moving she doesnt like or does it start once the doors close?
it varies. sometimes she is quiet until she moves off sometimes its as soon as the doors close. she has been in trailer and lorries - she just completely freaks out kicking the inside of the vehicle and has actually got her back legs outside the trailer over the back ramp
