Transportation queries!

Hello everyone, I've just bought my second horse. I now have a 14hh and a 12.2hh. The 12.2hh has always gone on the right hand side of the trailer when she was on her own, but now I have two, I don't know who should go where! I'm leaning towards having my 14hh pony on the right hand side because of the road camber. Advice please!

The heavier one should ideally go on the right but if it causes problems for the smaller one it is not going to be too bad if they go the other way round, you will have to give them a trip out and see if they are happy, most are easy enough to swap from one side to the other.

Thank you! This really helps, I'll try it out! If anyone else had a different opinion, I'd be delighted to hear it!

agree with bp, but it won't matter tremendously - my oldie has to travel on the passenger side even if she's on her own if we ever go in a trailer because SOMEHOW she always gets herself undone if she goes on the driver's side in an ifor. No idea what happens, lol but she gets the breast bar down. But she travels fine on the 'wrong' side .
