Re: Home urgently needed - Unbroken 12 y/o gelding

I am not interested as I have horses for sale myself so I can move. One way you can transport this horse is to use a livestock type trailer and back it up to the gate of his pen. If it can be left there for awhile, start feeding him in it. If it can't be left, he can be driven into the trailer and transported untied. It is best not to use an open top trailer as he might try to jump out or rear up and get his legs hung on the top. Hope this helps. Gloria in Snowflake
