[QUOTE="Alan, post: 101443, member: 378"] A little history on this horse. She also kicks stall walls, never has or acted like she was going to kick me or anyone else. She started kicking while she was with an ex-trainier, she got hauled a little over 2500 miles in 33 hours she was loose in the trailer. When she got to the location she had kicked into the second wall of a three panel (new) horse trailer (mine). Long story short... I hooked my truck to my damaged trailer and took my horse home by myself. Because the trailer had sharp edges from a ripped up wall I hobbled her home (while she was in the trailer). This has been several years and she is a great horse under saddle, rock solid and no vices (under saddle). I have pretty much got her over kicking the stall walls but can't get a handle on the trailer. I don't want to hobble her, too much a risk of injury. I've tried kick chains of varied length. She's loads great, in front or back gets along with other horse fine, she's not afraid of the trailer, she just kicks. Oh and the trailer now has 1 1/2 inch thick plywood for a kick wall, so she can't hurt the trailer... anymore. Just thought there might be an idea out there that is new to me. Thanks very much for the suggestions so far. Alan [/QUOTE]
