Thanks for the informative videos - love your approach to horsemanship.

Thanks Ted. I never knew about checking the tires in this way and your suggestions will now be part of my "walk -around" check of the rig before hauling. Please consider making a video of the extra supplies you like to have along when traveling on the road with the horses. I wish more people had horses like "Ol' Pete."

I found it interesting that you send a horse in a stall but you lead a horse into a trailer. All very good info, of course, I just found that interesting.

Thank you Ted

Leg wraps are not to prevent a horse treading on itself; they are best utilised to stop one horse standing on another if one horse does not balance well and needs to spread its legs into the area (stall/space) of the other horse. I would be surprised if in 35 years you have not seen this happen? Then again, perhaps your trailers are different in USA? Pete strikes me as a pony who would prefer a ramp. He seems a bit anxious about the floor dropping away behind him. A rough dirt road does wonders for a horse that is not well mannered in a float. Having to concentrate on staying on their feet takes their mind off misbehaving in much the same way breaking does on a tarseal road.

Thankyou for the information Ted

Great information. Thanks.

Maybe is a stupid question: wouldn't it be easier to turn the horse in the trailer and make him exit head first instead of backing?

[@keithtaylor6069]

Good stuff,. Thank you

What would you keep in your first aid kit for your horses

Any suggestions on how to load multiple horses in a stock trailer safely. When you dont have dividers as an option. I have a bumper stock trailer and and my horses were previous hauled in a horse trailer with divider I'm a little nervous for the transition! Advice would be appreciated

[@danmoretti4808]

I've found that a ramp makes it easier for the horse enter/exit the trailer. Do you use one sometimes?

[@LorryMLewis]

When you are taking the horse out of the trailer, and since you have room in this particular trailer, why don't you lead him out head first?

[@HandyHorsemanOhio]

sometimes I do lead them out of the trailer...but it is important that they back out too
