Re: [RC] question on hauling a single horse in a stock trailer w/ no divider - Dyane SmithMy horses, all lame, are at least becoming champion haulers going back and forth to U.C. Davis, a 5-7 hour drive. I hang a bucket beside the hay bag in front of each horse (like Barbara, I have a stock trailer). 2 of the 3 horses drink the bucket, sometimes several times over. A couple of weeks ago, my champion eater-drinker, drank two full buckets, at half his hay bag, pee'd and pooped like he was in a stall at home. But, I have never had anyone drink when I offered it at a stop. So, maybe the secret is, they want it when they want it. Otherwise, I don't know.

That's all we have. They just walk in and we tie them to the side rails. They can't turn around or dominate each other, but they can move their feet and bodies a bit and are very comfortable. They routinely slant-load themselves. We have hay bags in front of them, and when we stop, we offer a bucket of water (which they never take.)
