[RC] trailer/scrambling horses/driver error - A. Perez"Which is mostly driver error. If "you" are slamming your horse into thesidewalls, "you" are stopping and starting too fast. That's the collective "you" and not Stagg personally" In the winter, I load up a big plastic trunk with bags of lime and sand and lash it down into the bed of my truck to put weight over the drive weheels for better traction. Recently the lashing came loose, so the trunk was sliding aound the bed, and slamming into the cab when I stopped too quickly. In an effort to minimize this until I could re-lash the trunk, I drover extra carefully, excellerating and stiopping as smoothly as possible so as not the throw the 'loose cannon' around. It was an instructive exercise: I had to excellerate, turn and stop WAY more slowly then I would have thought in order to keep the box still. It gave me some insight into how carefully I'll need to drive with my trailer (which STILL has not arrived, thanks to the &%@%#! snow) in order not to fling the horse around in the trailer. ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
