I am in the business of transportation of horses for about twelve years. I transport about 300 horses around the Europe every year, that's more then 60 000km every year.
As my experience is, one third of horses are afraid of transport, which mostly appear when loading horses. In most occasions I'm loading these horses on my own. Thanks to many years of experience I know how to deal with extremly problematic horses.
When transporting horses, driving skills is must. Knowledge of your journey, always expecting unexpectable, smooth driving and enough space for horses in carriage will make horses relaxed and will make the whole experience better for the horse when transportning again in the future
