Well, I'm happy to report that Spider, Digby, Daizey, Gloria, Seamus and Bubbles have now been safely transported to their new home (or at least very close new home while waiting for the fencing to be done). Spider had a few wobbles but, given what he'd done previously, he was fab and our efforts paid off. The only one of the 6 who showed no behavioural signs of stress was Bubbles, who was dripping sweat within 5 minutes of leaving and was standing in a pool by the time we arrived at the other end.
This has been a real eye opener for me as to how many horses do have travelling problems but not to the extent that you'd notice unless you were watching them all the time. If I could pass on one message to everyone reading this, it would be invest in CCTV, even to hire for a short while, and find out just what your horses are doing in the back there...
