Meant to add that cutting some plywood to fit into the wheel wells/under the trailer edge isn't a bad idea & one my husband keeps promising to do for me. I think it's a particularly good idea with most of the newer trailers that are so high off the ground & some have some awfully sharp edges (my own is an old bugger). FWIW, horses can break their legs at home getting cast against/through a sturdy enough fence. If they're determined to get hurt, they'll find a way. I used to know someone whose horse was *badly* crippled while in a box stall. In fact, I owned a stallion who supposedly had been playing with the walls of a portable stall (of the variety at show grounds) and managed to lift it and put it down on his pastern -- he had a permanent limp from that incident. ~Nicole Zephyr Arabians http://www.zephyrarabians.com KattWmn Web Design http://www.kattwmn.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
