My new horse gets quite worried while she is travelling due to an accident she had as a baby. She goes in fine its just as you move off and go down bendy lanes she 'piaffes' (it sounds silly but I went in with her to the bottom of the lane and thats exactly what it looks like) and gets herself very wound up. I was talking to our vet about it the other day and she said to try Rescue Remedy, sounds worth a try but I have no idea how much to give her??
We are taking her on lots of short journeys and mum drives very caefully and smoothly, but any other ideas would be great! She is the same in company and on her own and apparently worse in a lorry. Also, her old owners used to shut the back doors of the trailer because of the lorries on the motorway, but we had never heard of this before. Does anyone else do this? We travelled her like this after collecting her but then went back to having them open and she is no different either way, if not slightly better with them open.
Thanks very much!
