Amber, also 
  add to that......if you have drop windows and put them down but leave the bars 
  up you should haul with a fly mask on. Some of the areas have big hard bugs 
  that could hit the horse in the eye and blind him. Same goes for hauling in an 
  open stock trailer

I've also 
  heard of a professional hauler letting 4 horses hang their heads out.  
  Hit his brakes hard and
broke the necks of all 4.  I just about get 
  sick when I see people letting their horses travel like that.
Why can't 
  people learn from other's experiences?
