Just took my mare to her second show (with me, been to lots before with her old owner) and she was in a terrible state when i got her there. all sweated up.
I took the journey slow and steady.
On the corners or slowing down she was just kicking the hell out of the trailer with her front feet and back ones too.
ONce she is off the trailer she was great like nothing had happened all be it very sweaty.
She loaded up great to come home but the same happened again.
I unloaded her fine.she had manager to kick off her back shoes and was very very sweaty like she had been through as card wash with fairy liquid. But she is so calm to handle like nothing went on.
I have a new Ifor williams trailer (Double). She travelled on her own with all the protection on apart from rugs as too warm. On the way back she had no boots on as she had wrecked them.
Any ideas on why she kicks out when slowing/turning??
How can I get her used to this??
If she was frightened she would not go on or would she?? (I do not force her on she just walks up)
She may be better travelling with another horse but not everyone wants to go the the shows??
It was quite a nerver wracking journey
HELP HELP HELP!!!
Many Thanks
