>>>> I have a 2 horse slant.  My plan is to bring my very steady 11 yr
gelding with me to help him along.  My question is do I tie the 11 yr old
and leave the baby free?  Should I leave them both free?  I'm not planning
on opening up the slant, just keeping it a box stall.

I'm not sure I know the answer to that one.  Any chance the mature gelding
can go stay with the little guy for a day or more before the trip home?  It
might help if they meet before the trip and settle down.   If I were moving
the little one alone, I'd personally pull the divider and haul him untied.
I think they do usually haul better with a friend, so I like that part of
your plan, but hard to know what's best in a two-horse trailer.  Has the
little one been in the trailer already?  Good luck - hope you get him safely
home soon, with no hassle from your HOA.  At least it's not a very long
trip, although an hour will seem plenty long while you're living through it.
Is he your second horse?
