Hoping some of you may be able to help me, please pull up a comfy chair and a cuppa, this may take a while!!
After three and a half years of no transport I finally got a lovely little 6 ton Iveco, two horse box. However my lovely little mare (tiny 16.1 lw TB) has decided that while she is very happy to load and unload (both were an issue in the past!) we cannot possibly close the partition, let alone the ramp. I can gradually close the partition while I am standing with her but if I try to move a step away she panics and tries to rear up or pushes against the partition. The box is currently away for a bit of work but I am hoping to have it back soon so I can start to work on this again (especially as she is unsound atm and I fear a trip to the vets is going to be needed!
) I do intend to try taking out the partition as she used to travel better in my old 7.5 ton like this but any other ideas, thoughts or suggestions would be really helpful! I tend to have to load and travel her on my own as well which makes things a bit harder as there isn't anyone around to give me a hand.
Many thanks in advance for any help, feeling very despondent about everything atm as was looking forward to finally getting out and about again and now it looks like it may not happen!
