If a horse is traveling alone in a 2 horse horse box what side should it be on?
If a horse is alone in a 2 horse box it should be on the left side because left sides are always bigger in a trailer or a box. *** Update by chickahorse*** It should go on the left side because of the balance of the trailer. Roads are built to naturally peak in the center and slant off towards the shoulders to help water drain more quickly. If the horse is on the right side (in countries where cars go on the right side of the road), the trailer will lean more towards the right, leading to your trailer possibly tipping over. On the left side of the trailer, you horse is on the "up" side of the road. On the other hand, in the UK and other countries where cars drive on the left side of the road, I suppose that you would put your horse in the right side of the trailer to balance it that way.

If you are worried about a horse who is on its side and does not want to get up, contact a veterinarian immediately. A horse on its side may be cast against a stall wall and need assistance. A horse on its side may also be weak, or stuck and need assistance to rise. Horses are prey animals (food) and as such are uncomfortable being in a position in which they cannot run away. A horse who is down for too long will begin to suffer damage to tissues, so getting a horse up is important.
