July 27, 2001, Newsletter Issue #48: Trailering Your Horse On Vacation
Tip of the Week
When you will trailer your horse to Vacation sites, you want to have as few surprises as is possible when you arrive.
Ask at each location, these few but important questions:
Is there room to maneuver a trailer at the site (will you be required to back) and provide fine tuning in placing your trailer in a secure manner to unload/load your horses?
Is there fresh water available, and will there be fresh water for you to top up your trailer tanks?
Are the areas for guest horses fenced with Bayco, Wire (?), Wood & Rail (how many rows)? Are they secure paddocks? Are they closed? Are they open to a wide and open free range area (should the horse(s) get loose)? How big are the enclosures? How far away from your accommodations are they located (this includes if you are staying in your camper)?
For more depth on Trailering Your Horse(s) read through the article at my home site, called Trailers, Before You Buy; and then go to the Discipline of the Week 07/29/01 Revue for more information about Trailering Your Horse(s) on Vacation; both articles located at Good GO! Farm.
Then check out the Trailering Tips at www.horse-tips.com under General, then under Trailering.
