depends on the driver Im sure, but have a horse that is going down around corners-scrabbles up the wall. I am going to give him the whole box without partition and drive him around really slowly to get his confidence back but any other tips?
 
ummmm, in a full size ifor williams with the partition in the middle?although he doesnt seem to scramble if he is on his own
 
Do you travel him on the same side when he is on his own? We have one that will only travel on the right hand side and does the running up the walls if she is put on the wrong side - I cant count the amount of times ive had the helpful davice at shows that the heaviest one should be on the outside, ive given up explaining now!
 
i'd take the partition out if you can. or, drive her around a field with someone in the trailer with her to check that she's balancing herself the right way, and give her a shove to show her how if she isn't!
 
My mare is like this and it is due to them not having enough room. I have to now travel her without the partition and she stands diagonally and doesn't appear to scramble

Friends horse did this with company but totally fine alone. He was the same in a horsebox too. She just has to travel him alone.

As the others said though removing the partition works wonders.
 
my horse does this, mainly when you first pull away and around roundabouts, he also wont load in a trailer

is this why? havent tried him without the partiion but he's odd as sometimes he does it loads and sometimes we dont hear a peep out of him?
