I just don't trust my local tire dealer.  Most do NOT have the experience
of towing and see little of it.  Go to a heavy truck tire dealer.....Goodyear
has them everywhere.... Heck, even the manufacturer of my trailer did not
know enough to put the right tires on!!!!  Cost me thousands in tires
over the years until I found out the truth.

There is going to be a symposium on equine transportation at the Kentucky horse Park in March 2001.  Topics covered will be wide-including such issues as:  DOT, FMCSR, IFTA, truck and trailer manufactuers, etc.  I will give a talk on "women on the Road".

It is a long needed symposium which should help ALL of us understand such issues.
