Debbie,

Congrats to you on tackling Tevis and I hope for you and your horse  
and safe journey.

When I'm only taking one horse on a long trip I physically take the  
divider out. Not only is it less weight to tow, but my horse gets a  
"box stall" and from what I hear from professional haulers  that is  
the way to go. I'm sure there could be a negative but I'm not aware of  
it. I let my horse loose (no halter, no tie) and she gets to turn  
around and move around. When I want to take her out she sticks her  
head out the window and I put the halter and lead back on. The second  
tip I always use (I read it in Endurance news) is to put rice bran in  
the water and make a watery soup. My horse loves it and drinks extra  
water.

Have a great trip and enjoy your Tevis experience.

Lauren
