Just out of interest, why would you not travel in a trailer AmyMay?

Obviously I'm not AmyMay

but thought I'd add my two penneth.

If it were me in your situation there'd be no way whatsoever that I'd be travelling a stressed mare that has just been separated from her foal in a trailer, particularly if she's known to have been a less than 100% traveller in the past.

We've had several bad travellers, and it only takes for them to throw their weight around in the trailer a little bit before the car and trailer will start to snake uncontrollably

A friend of mine was travelling two horses together, towed by a LWB Landrover Defender, which started to fight (snaking their necks to bit each other and kicking out at the partitions), and it overturned the car and trailer.

I'd hate to see that happen to you and Hannah - hiring/borrowign a lorry would be MUCH safer for all concerned.

Because if she's in a lorry you can stand in the back with her and talk to her - in a trailer she is on her own and more likely to cause herself some injury in her panic to get out and back to Troy.

I expect though that it will all go beautifully. I think most of us are worrying for you needlessly. I just keep thinking of all the things that can go wrong - rather than what can go right
