Thanks for the tip about quietex, I have just called deaconjim (at work all day) to see if there is any way he can get some or get Mark (new owner) to get some. I dont have the van today and my arm isnt up to driving the truck.
I am sure we will run into some problems tommorow, I am going out now to see what I can accomplish today. The colts are pretty good and will follow fine, but getting them into a trailer might be a different story altogether! I'm hoping that curiosity, feed, and lots of encouragement will work. Mark is very experienced so that will help too!
They wont be going far, it's only about a 10 min slow drive at best! : )
What with the puppies, colts and the kids are doing homeschool today instead of tomorow, it's a busy day! Chat later! Good luck with your animals. : )
Well, if they don't lead and tie, now (tomorrow) won't be the time to teach them. They'll have to travel loose. Do not attempt to tie them in the trailer unless they are very tried and true tying already. Hopefully his trailer is an open type? If it's a stock trailer or slant, the two babies loose together (no dividers they can get under) will be just fine, maybe with Misty if there's room and she's OK with both of them underfoot. Put her in first if she'll load and stand quietly tied in there, it'll help.
Better to back the trailer right up to your gate opening and kindof herd them in, than it would be to try to lead them in if they don't lead well.
Regardless of all the other considerations, it'll be more than one trip. Lightning shouldn't be trailered with them.
Those are my suggestions.
