Might try letting your most honest friend ride in the back while YOU
drive...it is eye opening (have a very honest sister who taught me to pull my trailer when I
first got it). Also have a friend whose horse did this and he ended up
putting an eye in the floor of the trailer and tying the horse with his head low
- I'm not real sure about that one, but we were discussing it the other
day. Slow, slow slow, especially around corners and approaching a known
intersection where the light might change. Might also check the tires on
the truck and trailer - when I first got my rig it had passenger tires on the
truck and defective tires all around on the trailer. Got the trailer tires
replaced from the factory and replaced all the tires on the truck and Holly was
a happy camper again!

Subject: [RC] horse climbing sides of
trailer HELP!!!!
I have an older two horse Kingston trailer, straight load with a full
partition. My horse is putting his shoulder into the middle partition
and climbing the side of the trailer with 3 or more hooves. He has
ridden in a trailer with a half partition in which he did the same. I
worried that he would fall under the partition. I don't have the money
to purchase and new trailer and this one is in great working
condition. He seems to be too far back in the trailer and not
using the chestbar for support. Instead he is sitting on the butt
chain. I have tried shortening the tie but I wonder how short I can go
safely. He doesn't eat while riding in the trailer so reaching the hay
is not a concern. The behavior is the worst around corners but
occasionally happens when coming to a stop. Any, and I mean any
suggestions. I am really worried he is going to hurt himself.
Thanks, Jen
