At a recent horse gathering where a great many people were trallerlng to and from the meet several incidents happened indicating lack of awareness of sensible trallerlng rules I noticed a couple as I tried to get out of the way of a frightened fighting horse and more were pointed out to me by appalled horsemen Several drivers seem unconcerned about their loaded horses when they bounced into the field and swung in a com I saw a few horse backsides go down as the poor horses tried to keep their feet Try It yourself sometime Ride standing in an unsprung trailer or stand up in the back of pickup while it jolts over rough ground You II realize what the horse goes through After coming to rest one driver hopped out backed his horses out of the trailer tied the over excited beasts to the at the side of the trailer and went off to visit Chaos erupted as the horses pulled and fought the tie ropes threatening to upend the trailer If he had taken time to walk his horses around calm them down and have an assistant stay with them if he wanted to leave the panic wouldnt have happened Another thing very obvious that day was the need for smoothness and cooperation when unloading Here an assistant is a must because it s very difficult to unload ex cited horses alone without danger of the animal injuring it self Several people were opening the back gales of the trailer before undoing the horse By the time they had whipped around to the front to untie the horse was pulling his head off The door was open and he wanted out Trying to untie a horse yanking his head is not easy even with the mandatory slip knot and he usually bounds out of the trailer in a heap when he does get free It s better to have an assistant at the back gate The gate can be unlatched but held closed until ready The handler calmly unties the rope holds thelead andsays ready as the assistant opens the door and places a restraining hand on the horse back ready to guide him out slowly The handler can control the front end and allow the horse to find his own pace without panic Jeiufer Lister Acton is a very proud girl these days she has been awarded her colors from the Wellington Waterloo Hunt A letter from
