Q. What happens if my horse stops drinking?

A. If a horse "shuts down" and stops drinking, we immediately stop the trip, contact a vet, then the owner, get all the horses off the trailer and into stalls while we deal with the horse that has stopped drinking. Most times is it because the horse has never been in a trailer before, consequently, under stress, it will not drink. Taking the horse off the trailer for a short rest will usually bring back its thirst.
