[RC] trailer "scramblers" - Dot Wiggins

It has been my experience with scramblers, wall climbers, etc., that almost
all of them had problems only when they did not have room enough to spread
their feet wide apart to balance.   Some were ok if the divider in a
straight load was just a bar, way above the floor, and some would only ride
well if they were on the "right" side for that horse.  (In other words, they
did not bump the outside wall with the "wrong" foot)
Once they get started in this kind of panic mode they need a lot of room to
get over it.  Eventally a few learn it's ok no matter where they are.
Everyone I can remember was fine with no divider, alone or with another
horse in the double stall.  All would ride well in a pickup rack alone.
And they all were happy in any slant load or loose in a stock trailer or a
stock truck.
