> Jonni (about matching Laura in travel mileage with the horses this
> summer....I logged 7200 miles on the truck and trailer)
Guess it must be the wide-open spaces here...  Just totted up our horsey
travels this summer, and we've logged about 9200 miles on the horse
trailer so far, and we haven't really BEEN much of anywhere.  And we have
another 4100 yet to drive, with two more rides and a broodmare delivery
trip still on the calendar.  In my younger years, it was not uncommon to
haul upwards of 30,000 miles in a year, and back then I lived much closer
to the rides--but did a lot more hauling of breeding stock and younguns to
and from various places.

Now I live where it is usually a 600+ mile round trip to a ride (the
closest ride is a 450-mile round trip), but my trips to places like Texas
and southern CA are much less frequent, so it doesn't seem like we haul
all that much at all.

I've always wondered what it must be like to be able to wait 3 months to
service a rig, but can't remember ever taking that long to run up the
allotted between-service mileage.... <sigh>

PS:  Mileage aside, Jonni's post was right-on.  You have to do what is
right for YOU and YOUR horses.
