Nobody really wants to spend hours of their time in a small, enclosed space where they have no control and can't keep their balance. It would be like being stuck in the tube without a place to sit down all day long! Your mind and body would be incredibly stressed by the time you got to your final destination. That's how your horse will feel too.To keep your horse in top condition, both mentally and physically, it's up to you to keep the trip as devoid of stress as possible. That's obvious. What's not always so obvious is what you can do to make that happen.Before you can travel at all you have to make sure you have the right horsebox transport for your horse(s). Don't think of this from your own point of view. See the trip through your horse's point of view! Just because a horsebox is cheap and easy to drive doesn't mean your horse is going to be pleased and proud to get in and ride.To keep the horse from rebelling against being in a small space rather than out in the open it's important to choose a horsebox that allows for plenty of light and ventilation. Horses have to have room to use their legs, heads and necks to keep their balance while traveling.Before any horse transport trip be sure you are familiar with driving the horsebox. You need to learn to drive the horsebox empty before you try it with your horse on board.Trips less than 3 hours long can be made without stopping. Any longer, however, and you're going to want to stop, stretch your own legs, refill water and hay nets and allow for urination, since most horses won't use the facilities in a moving vehicle. If you're going to be traveling 18 hours or more you're going to need to plan on stopping for the night for your horse to be able to move around freely. On overnight trips be sure to find public accommodations that will allow you to care for your horse properly.Without any forethought, horse transport can be a stressful experience for your equine friend. When you're prepared, however, horse transport can be a pleasant experience for both of you.I hope this rather brief article has given you a quick overview into how to transport your Horses or Ponies with their comfort in mind.
