As title really, I am going to travel my little horse on Wednesday, she loads fine, she is an ex-racer so I guess she is used to a lorry rather than a trailer, when I brought her home It was cooler and we were going on the motorway so I kept the top doors on the back closed for the journey, so she arrived a bit sweaty and het up, but then she didn't know me and the motorway was busy and the journey took about 1 1/2 hours, now 2 years later I am in a quandary I have always travelled my WB in the trailer with the top doors open (on the back only) he has always watched what is following him, but never got crazy if its a lorry or a motorbike etc... and he's only ever done small 1/2 hour journeys and always arrived non sweaty and only a little excited at being at a show.
So on Wednesday I am travelling for 20-25 mins on nothing more than country lanes and a bit of A-road and its going to be hot, so do I travel with or without top doors shut/open? What do you find has worked best for you? Do you think horses are more scared to see an opening and things following us or do you think I am worrying to much and she may be more used to travelling in a trailer than I know/think?
Costa Rican coffee and a Danish for those that get this far!
Would love to hear you thoughts!
