How many hours can a horse stay in a moving trailer before a rest break?
N2146X
How long a horse can stay in a trailer is relevant to the condition of the horse, if there is enough room for the horse to lay down etc. Are their stops for water and feed breaks? Also the condition of the trailer, does it have good suspension? Is their room for the horse to lay down? Is it bedded with shavings and rubber mats? Are the horses legs wrapped well? Many long haul horses will stay in the trailer for the entire trip, 48-72 hours with no ill effects in good quality trailers.

What is the best thing to use when moving a horse?
Use a horse trailer or a horse box. If you have a Thoroughbred off of the track, I would suggest not using a strait-load trailer. They will probably think it is a racing box. Your horse may not like the trailer, if so let him/her sniff it and check it out. Do not use brute force to try to get him/her in the trailer until you have tried everything else. Once you do get him/her in the trailer, reward with praise, affection, and a treat or some hay. Have fun! If you mean a device to lead your horse from place to place, then you are looking for a halter and leadrope. A horse can be led with a bridle, but a bridle is easier to break should your horse spook and jump away than a halter.
What do you have to break before you can use it?

What is the safest way to move your horse?
The safest way to move a horse depends on where your moving it to - if you are just moving your horse to another stall or a paddock, just fasten on a lead - rein onto the horses halter and away you go. If you are moving the horse in a trailer, it is easiest to take a horse blanket with a hood and fasten it on the horses, attach the lead - rein to the halter or harness, and thread the rein through a loop or notch on the trailer wall. Don't forget to put on the special, protective horse boots if your horse gets frightened easily!

How do you load a stubborn horse on a trailer?
There are many different ways to load a horse onto the trailer. You can either get a horse onto a trailer by force or bribery (which often doesn't work) or you can actually train the horse to go into the trailer. One way, perhaps the most common way, to train a horse to go into a trailer is to work the horse outside the trailer and let him rest inside it. You may have to start with just letting him rest near the trailer, but eventually the horse will get the picture. Another way is to use reverse physicolgy kind of. The idea of this is to lead the horse up to the trailer, and when the horse reaches a point where he subtly tells you he doesn't want to go any further, you back him up, kind of saying "We can go close to the trailer, but we can't go in" and sooner or later, the horse will want to get in the trailer. This works best with very curious horses, and you must be very observant so that you can back up the horse before going past his comfort zone. The first version is your best bet, but every horse is different and some do better with version 2.

here are some steps to get a horse on the trailerslowly walk the horse in with hay/grain in your hand.have someone try and guide horse from front and back (be careful for kicks)make sure you and the horse are calm if not take a break let them know it is okay and nothing bad is going to happenstart these steps overif those don't work after the third try, take a lunge line and tie it to the right side of the trailer (if loading on the left) and bring it behind the horses butt. then you walk the horse on and when it backs up you keep the line tight so the horse cannot back up.
