Travelling with no partition in trailer...

[Broodle]

... Where do you tie the haynet?!

I know this seems a daft question, but I can't fathom how to tie a haynet in an ifor Williams 506 with partition removed, in such a way that a cross-tied small horse could reach it.

Am I being dim? Any help would be gratefully received, as I'm hoping to take my partition out so I can tack up on board.

Thank you in advance!

Sorry I can't get the link to work but if you google Ifor Hay net rails it might answer your question

Thank you! I think those rails go over the jockey door and front ramp though, so still wouldn't be in the right place for a cross-tied horse? I might be missing something though.

Thats right, thats where I tie my haynet. My horse travels cross tied without a partition. They have a ring thing that slides along on the rails so you can push it nearer to the horse

Ahh, thank you, that's really helpful.

If I cross-tie a horse in a trailer I always give him enough free movement to reach either side for hay. I only need to stop him turning around, not to immobilize him completely!

What are you trying to stop him doing OP?

I have a wessex trailer which is similar to a 505. I tie the net to one of the rings he's cross tied to, and he has enough rope to reach it fine. He actually has one long and one shorter rope to help him stand diagonally which he prefers, so the net is on the ring the short rope is on.
