Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Cross Country Move For An Elderly Horse

Carolyn,

 

Why don't you ask this question on the Cushing's list? They're sure to have some good advise.  Web site address:   http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EquineCushings/

Subject: [RC] Cross Country Move For An Elderly Horse

Hi Ridecampers:

I need some advice someone off-topic, but if anyone will know, this group
will.  I have a friend with an elderly, but still alive and kicking 30
something gelding.  Her significant other has got himself a job in San
Diego, CA and will have to move this gelding from Boston, MA to San Diego. 
She is very concerned that he will arrive dead, or die shortly after such a
long trip.  He does have Cushing's, but a very mild cas and has almost no
symptoms since being treated.

He hates getting on the trailer, but trailers well once on. He will eat on
the trailer as well.  Any suggestions about this kind of move on such an old
guy?  Thanks,

Carolyn Burgess
