Bridle lameness (Zgellahmheit or ‘rein lameness’ in German) can be a mystifying phenomenon until correctly identified.
If your horse exhibits these traits during horseback riding instruction, he is trying to give you important information about how you use your reins, which only you can correct to make you both more comfortable.
What is Bridle Lameness?
A horse who is perfectly sound when grazing in the paddock or when put into a halter and exercised on a lunge line, who suddenly goes lame when put on the same lunge line wearing a bridle or when being ridden is referred to as “bridle lame”. This condition manifests itself by uneven head nodding, as if the horse had gone lame in one foreleg, and in very severe cases, the horse will appear to have suffered chronic back problems.

There are specific features in a new horse trailer that you may like or dislike but you must at least recognize which of these dislikes you can live with. And in the case of second-hand horse trailers, you also have to know the parts might need to be fixed to avoid fatal accidents at all costs.
If it transpires that you are thinking about for a used horse trailer, you have to observe the surroundings of any vendor that you call upon. If the seller’s fences and barns are in bad condition, most probably the horse trailer they are selling is in a similar condition too. On the contrary, if the place is well-maintained and in order, the trailer will likely have been well-maintained also.

Is there such a thing as fail-safe fencing and gates? Maybe someday! In the meantime, there are certain steps you should take to make sure your horse not only remains in his enclosure, but remains there safely.
Initially, consider visibility. Your horse must have the ability to see his fencing, in any other case accidents are imminent. Whereas your horse should not have any hassle seeing a wooden or PVC fence, wire fences pose extra of a problem. Colourful tape or ribbon tied to the fence every foot or so makes the horse aware of the fence.
