[sbrownshowhorses]

hi I am gathering information for my degree dissertation I am researching how people travel horses

if could you please take two minutes to complete this it would be highly appreciated

My horse has osteoathritis so has to travel with partition out.
I would prefer to travel my horse backwards so that more weight is on hind legs, and so be more natural a position but my trailer is a formard facing one.

Ed pefers to travel facing backwards, he doesn't like the confines of a trailer, he prefers a lorry or trailer to himself.

mine travel happily in the trailer, facing forwards. They are equally as happy travelling sideways in my friend lorry

Mine face backwards as I have an Equitrek. they are very happy that way, and travel better than when I had an Ifor.

mine hates to travel unless shes facing forwards

Mine will not travel in a trailer, I think its because its forward facing as he loaded well until he had a journey which was perfect as in no sharp stops turns etc. He scrabbled all over as we set off, settled but then next time wouldnt load and became dangerous once we did manage to get hiim in.
He travels perfect in a wagon side on with his head to the left. ( Head to left when looking in from ramp)
