<p><i>Answer by Bioniclily</i><br/>Disadvantages, the horse can get hurt if the trailer your using is not safe. Make sure you are comfortable driving with the trailer behind your vehicle, it can start to sway back and forth. the animals weight can cause that to happen too. Towing a trailer is very different from driving without one. I'm not sure how long your drive will be, but the animal needs to be kept cool, dry and fed. Many horses do not like trailers at all.
