I agree, I had all sorts of trouble floating my mare. She would
scramble, pull off her shoes etc.etc. I took the centre bar out and
have not had a problem since. I have floated two horses many times,
even strange ones together and not had a problem. When I travel a long
distance I sometimes but the centre bar in at an angle, tie it secure
and use the back of it for storage. It's amazing how much you can fit
in there.
