They won't let themselves starve. I have a 6 year old Paint gelding who kicks the trailer wall after he has been loaded. He gets in the trailer OK, but after he has been loaded he starts kicking the walls with is rear legs. If I stand in the trailer before we leave, I can stop his kicking by popping him on the rear with my hand, but after the door is closed, he kicks all the way there. I have tried Quietex which didn't work.
