Not sure if anyone remembers but I was having problems with my horse kicking out in the trailer.
Today I took him to the local indoor again. Massive improvement in his schooling but huge improvement in the trailer!! Managed to contact a previous trainer ( ex racehorse ) who remembered he needed lots of room to travel. I was thinking about trying a partition but after this I decided against it! I also drove positively rather than farting about!! I had also been closing both back doors as I was worried having them open would frighten him as he is only used to a lorry, so left one open. He was loads better on the way. We then had a brilliant lesson. Loaded him after lesson and he actually just stood on the trailer, a first. Got brave and left both doors open on way back and he didn't move a muscle!! Really hoping he has decided this travelling lark is easy, so pleased with him!!
