[RC] Mare Kicking in Trailer-Need advice - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Sheila Larsen Sheila_Larsen@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== My new horse has a terrible habit of kicking in the trailer. Her previous owner let her hang her head out of the trailer, but to be fair I understand that she was trailered very few times. At first she was mostly kicking as I traveled through the canyon between Auburn and Cool, so I thought I would let her travel with her head out (not something I am wild about, but better than kicking), but it doesn't make much difference. But she now kicks randomly. She is kicking hard enough to dent the outside of the trailer. I hear her squeal and then kick. Sometimes I think she is kicking with both feet at the same time. If she is hanging her head out I can see her pin her ears go back in the trailer, squeal and kick. If I open the window and yell her name sometimes I can get her distracted enough not to do it. She loads and unloads nicely and doesn't seem particularly agitated to be in the trailer (not sweaty or scrambling). Advice please. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
