[RC] Horse kicking in trailer - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Sheila Larsen Sheila_Larsen@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

I too have a horse that kicks in the trailer.  She was very
good all summer and has started again.  I can tell you one thing
that helped previously was putting shipping boots on.  I think
she felt that she didn't want to move her legs with the boots
on.  Of course that didn't help much last weekend but that is one suggestions.  
I also put a screen on the window so I can
leave the window done because she also travelled better with
her head out the window.

I am also thinking of doing some sort of hobble thing but haven't quite thought 
it out.  It is a balance between having a 
horse that injures itself in the trailer from kicking (and makes
me a nervous wreck) and potential safety issues.  If someone has
tried hobbling in the trailer I too would be interested in 
knowing how it was done.
