Hi,
I have always found so much useful information on this forum that I thought I would seek some advice in the hope of reassuring my nerves! Due to a towing accident several years ago I am very nervous about transporting horses. After years of towing & always being convinced that the trailer would detach from the hitch up the first hill! I have now upgraded to a horsebox which coincides with the purchase of my daughters bigger horse. How very lucky & lovely you might be thinking!? The first issue was getting him on the damn box, which through patience & practice we have now (fingers crossed) conquered! The next hurdle is taking him somewhere, yikes, my daughter has so many plans but I am just so nervous about the whole thing to the point that I have put some sedative in the horse first aid kit convinced he may go nuts in the box! So there it is - very interested to hear other peoples experiences & advice as to ideas on how to keep calm without taking the sedative myself!
