Wow, 2-5lbs, how exactly does this work, and does it depend on the distance traveled? That is just kind of scary to think about, after all that and getting a horse settled, I don't think I would want to move him/her anywhere.

Maybe because of the fright or the nervousness that the horse experiences. Heavy sweating might be one of the cause of the weight loss. But its good that the link has this information on how to take care of the horse before and after a long distance travel.
Here are some of the care tips for transporting horses: Quote:

I have a question, as I have never taken a horse for racing. But how do the people move their horses for big races that can make them travel 10 - 20 hours?
is this then done in stages and you arrive at the destination many weeks before the race? |

I wondered that too before you posted it regarding the above. Makes more sense to have a mini vacation and travel with the horse sparingly.

Horses are meant to be ridden and not to just to ride behind a trailer. Maybe that is why they are having this travel sickness.
I still can't imagine how heavy sweating would reduce the weight of a horse in just a couple of hours of travel. Could someone explain how this happens? |

Is there a rough guideline for how far a horse can travel before it needs a break? I am thinking about the last time I took a 10+ hour car ride and needed to get out and stretch my legs every so often.
