[RC] straight-load safety? - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Ray O'Donohue rno2m@xxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Brenderup says that in a wreck,the horse is typically better off in a straight load situation.But then,that's the type of trailer they make. No doubt there are a million variables to the question,and an infinite number of types of wrecks,God forbid. I always wonder about the slant load being an uneven work-load on the horse during the haul.I've got a big straight load,with a chest bar,and Chico is on bungee which slides freely side -to-side on a cable stretched across the very front of the horse box just below the ceiling.He moves around a lot as he sees fit,and of course stands at a slant much of the time,unless he has another horse with him,which isn't very often. ===========================================================In my experience (22 year worth) most endurance riders are great people who will go out their way to help and be friendly. ~ Laura Hayes ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ===========================================================
