This was great! Learned a few things I didn’t know! Thank you!

Thank you for this video! I just bought a 2 horse gooseneck slant trailer which I could make into a box stall if taking the divider out. I would like to think that this would offer a more comfortable ride for my horse but I am also wondering if it's just safer to keep him in the front with the divider closed in. I would really appreciate your thoughts on this :)

Question: would you also not tie a horse in a small European trailer? In Europe, our trailers don't have a lot of room in front of the chest bar, there's usually a big bump where you hang your hay in front of the chest bar. It's where the little tack room is on the outside. My worry would be if I didn't tie my horse, he'd be more likely to get his legs over the chest bar, and getting in front of the chest bar to fix the situation seems like a total death wish. If they're tied and you don't tie them really high, they can't jump high enough to do those theatrics. I don't own a horse right now but that would be why I'd tie them. I wouldn't if the trailer was longer like the ones you have but in those standard small ones we have in Europe, it seems wise to tie them when they're in such a confined space. Educated horse owners here usually tie the rope to a loop of hay string so that in an accident, the hay string breaks or is very easy to cut.
