Started taking my new horse out and about. Previous owner travelled him on a 7.5t and tacked him up on the lorry, they said his only downside was he does not tie up on the outside of a lorry as he will pull back and escape. I’ve never had a problem with taking him off my lorry and tacking him up until yesterday when we arrived and he was uncharacteristically on his toes and after putting the headcollar around his neck he stuck his head up like a giraffe and i simply couldn’t reach him. He then started walking off and I had to embarrassingly Shout for help and get rescued by my trainer.
Does anybody bridle up in a 3.5t? I am thinking of making a strap so I can open up and secure the partition so I have a bit more space. It’s rear travelling so I’m boxed in and I’m always a bit H&S conscious as seen too many accidents over the years but I don’t think I have much option otherwise.
I don’t want to travel him in a bridle as he wears a double and worried about him getting caught up.
