No, he's stressy whether its a short journey or a long one but we try to keep it as short as possible with him now as it's not nice for him to be like that and it doesn't look like he's going to change his ways - sad as he loves it when he finally arrives at his destination!

Yes

17. Do you travel at night?
Evening if coming back from somewhere, not through the night.

He's calmer but I think that's due to him being "worn out" from his hack/day out - there is a light inside where they travel so he's not in darkness.

18. Is your horse always consistent with bad/good loading?
Yes
