When we met up with Bolder’s previous owner and got the paperwork signed, we unloaded him from his old owner’s trailer and were now ready to load up and head home. I popped him in the trailer and tied him up. As I was moving to close the divider he decided to try and back out, being tied up real tight he couldn’t move. He started freaking out because he couldn’t move, I not wanting to be trapped in a small enclosed metal area with flailing horse limbs jumped out. When I turned around he had fallen and his legs were strait up in the air. I don’t know how he twisted himself enough to fall down, but he did. When he got back up, we were able to secure him in the trailer. After the fact I learned he has never been loaded like a regular horse: they had loaded him with plenty of food and grain so he wouldn’t mind being in-closed in a small metal area. I hope he only needed one flip-in-the-trailer event because I don’t want to deal with it again.
