    Amber, also add to that......if you have drop windows and put them down but leave the bars up you should haul with a fly mask on. Some of the areas have big hard bugs that could hit the horse in the eye and blind him. Same goes for hauling in an open stock trailer

    I've also heard of a professional hauler letting 4 horses hang their heads out.  Hit his brakes hard and
    broke the necks of all 4.  I just about get sick when I see people letting their horses travel like that.
    Why can't people learn from other's experiences?
