I agree with many of the points brought up with trailering horses. I can add a
few though.
The issue with the quality of the trailer is important. If the trailer sounds
like a tin box when
you load a horse, think what it feels like to the horse when
of
the sand can help absorbe urine.
Before ever hauling horses, the driver should ride in the trailer around curves,
with stops etc to get a feel for what it is like to travel back there.
I read a study that found horses travelled best when facing to the rear of the
trailer. They are better able
