TRAILERING PRECAUTIONS

["John B.Ayers" <ayers@plainfield.bypass.com>]

I have been asked to pick up a woman and
her horse for a ride to a competion on April
24. We have not met either of them. She says
her horse loads readily.

I have a large two-horse TB size tag along with
center divider.  There was a divider to keep their
heads separated, but I removed it.  My gelding gets
along well with other horses.

Dare I just load her horse along side mine, or should 
I unload him and let them get acquainted first? He
has been trailered with other horses that he has not
met before without a problem.

My inclination is to just load her horse and wait 10
minutes or so before taking off.  We have plenty of
time.
