 Getting a Nervous Horse Accustomed to Travel
 The are so many places out there that offer great trail riding. I would love to go and take my own horse but I am unsure if riding long distances in a trailer has an adverse effect on the horse. What would be a good way to travel with your horse without putting undo stress on them? Some of the trips I have been looking at are a two- to three-day drive. |
 Load Your Horse on a Trailer Safely
This is a safe and effective way to teach or reteach your horse to load safely on a trailer without causing injury to you or your horse. The first thing to remember is to stay consistent with the cues you use with your horse. Cues can be voice commands or hand or body cues. This program can be completed in an afternoon or over a month. Work at a pace that is comfortable to you and the horse. You will need a snaffle bit attached to the halter, a lunge line and a dressage whip. NO TREATS. |
 Bad Trailering Experience Difficult to Overcome
Help! My mare had a somewhat bad experience trailering once, and now it is a nightmare to take her anywhere. She was pulled through the hills by a somewhat inexperienced driver, who drove way too fast and knocked her around in the trailer a bit. She will load perfectly, but once in she will thrash and pull and kick nonstop. She works herself into a panic, and she will keep this up for the entire trip, whether it is 10 minutes or three hours. I need help; I love to trail ride with her but I am worried she is going to hurt herself. I need help! |
 Avoiding a Tie-Up Situation
"I assume all endurance horses are tie-ups waiting to happen after any significant management change, as in long travel," says veterinarian Nancy Elliot. "For the first few days (after travel), you really need to be aware of the most minute signs. The main thing is knowing 'normal.'" | |
