RE: [RC] Trailer ramps - Alison FarrinI
started with a ramp, as I had seen too many legs stuck under the backs of
trailers as horses slid under while backing out. After 4 years of a ramp,
I gratefully switched to a step up. I had the same experience as Jim - one
of my Arabs leaped OVER the ramp to get in almost every time. If it wasn't
dead even on the ground (and when is it ever at a ridecamp?) he jumped in rather
than walk up the ramp. I have seen just as many legs slid under ramps as
under the stepup. Since I have a slant load they can turn around and walk
off of, I see that problem rarely. My step up is fairly high and the 14
hand arabs have no trouble. Its no higher than many of the trail guard
stepovers they have to go over to get on the trail.
My
vote is definitely for a step up
