More about this item
Pull over to a safe place before you stop, put on hazard lights and keep people away from traffic. Arrange breakdown cover that will pick up horses, and keep your vet's and a transporter's numbers to hand. After an accident, never rashly open the trailer on a busy road; call for help and let professionals free an injured or trapped horse.
