[QUOTE="Stepper, post: 354664, member: 3398"] On my trail horses & mules i open the gate let'm in and they do the rest. But they have been hauled alot. My wife always ties her barrel horse's. She has herd storys about people forgetting to latch the trailer door or it somehow coming unlatched. But at the same time i have herd about the horse that was riding in the back of the trailer when the door came open backing out of the trailer while it was tied. Then it was drug to death. Back along time ago when i first started hauling horses. I was moving a yearling philly in a two horse side by side. I tied the lead rope but left alot of slack in it. And i did not get a 1/8 mile down the road when i herd a loud noise. The philly had apparently rared up and flipped over backwards in the trailer. Which i would have never guessed it would have had enough room to have done that. But it did. Lucky the horse was leaned up right against the trailer door with one front leg hooked across the divder. That was the only things that had kept it from breaking its neck. It scared the devil out of me. I took my knife and cut the lead rope then lifted its front leg up and over the divider. I stood off to the side of the trailer door and popped the door latch open. And the philly rolled out on her back about half of her still in the trailer and the other half on the road. After some serious kicking and going on. She managed to get truned arround and up on her feet. Luckly she only wound up with some minor cuts and no one was hurt. I wound up getting a stock trailer and tieing her up shorter this time. But finally got her moved. [/QUOTE]
