My lovely ginormous weanling will be coming home in the next few weeks and I have a few questions...
Ive never travelled a foal before, I have a 3.5 ton horse box and was planning on putting a nice think lot of bedding down in it when i travel him home (about 2 hours drive) as obviously don't want to tie him up. Would you recommend taking out the partition so he has the full width of the box or leaving it in to give him something to lean against and balance? He is a tall lad, all legs and I would think would be about 13.2ish by the time he comes home..
I want to buy him a leather foal headcollar to make handling easier, like the look of the HY ones like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Leather-Collar-choose-medium-colours/dp/B00EIGPCMI but can't find any guidance on what sizes small/medium/large correspond to.. any experience? His mum is TB, dad is quarter horse, expected to make about 16.2hh.
