My AQHA 7 year old mare is very well trained – we do the ranch versatility shows and have done quite well – problem?? She kicks the heck out of the horse trailer. The entire time she is in there
she kicks. I have to keep a thick rubber pad on the wall behind her. I am so scared she will break or injure her leg. What can I do??
