5.3 IN THE EVENT OF
A HORSE BECOMING
STUCK
The breast/breeching bars can be removed
from outside the trailer by removing the
retaining bracket eye-bolts, first the lower
one and then if necessary the top one. These
eye-bolts can be undone by hand, or by using
the supplied Ifor Williams wheel brace. Pull
the eye-bolt towards you as you rotate it anti-
clockwise to release it. To use the wheel brace
simply pass the handle through the eye bolt
and turn (see diagram below). Being able to
release the breast/breeching bars from outside
of the trailer allows a distressed horse to be
unloaded without endangering yourself by
trying to unhook the breast bars from inside.
Periodically check that the breast/breeching
bar release fasteners turn freely.
5.4 INSPECTION/
GROOMS DOOR
The inspection door is to allow access to the
horses without opening the ramp. It should
be kept closed when not in use and whenever
the trailer is being moved.
Never leave the door open if you intend
leaving a horse unattended, as the horse may
attempt to exit the trailer though the open
door and cause injury to itself.
