Is Your Horse??? • Very nervous, reluctant or difficult to load • Sweaty for no apparent reason during trailering • Scrambling, pawing, kicking, sitting on the butt bar, leaning on the divider or side walls, rearing up or falling down • "Flying" to exit the trailer
Horses are allowed to maintain their natural balance with the weight shifted to the forehand during normal deceleration and braking. This has been shown to minimize physical and mental stress for horses during travel.
Unnatural spreading and holding weight on the hind legs, high head carriage, bracing, falling and claustrophobia are common ways horses are stressed and injured on forward facing horse trailers.
Balanced Ride™ Trailers offer side loading with rear unloading to minimize stress . The horse can view its surroundings before exiting the trailer, reducing the risk of “flying” off while unloading.
