Even if you somehow didn’t see it, you would certainly feel a 1,000 pound difference in your load. That poor horse.

That isn’t helping!”

Good thing the horse got in or who knows what awful things they’d have done to get him in.

Can you imagine tooling down the road utterly ignorant that a horse had vanished from your trailer?

How awful.

I too understand that they had to get the horse into a trailer for everyone’s safety, but it broke my heart to have to watch that.

It’s deeply shocking to me to watch the horse fighting against getting back into a trailer. My guess is it was exhausted, hopefully tranquilized, and still it was ready to lie down rather than go through the possibility of falling out again. I felt so bad for the poor thing. And of course they had to get him out of there for treatment and safety…it was just painful to watch. I hope they post a follow up on the story, so we can know how he’s doing.
