[RC] Trailer maintenance addendum - Ed & Wendy HauserI forgot two important things. 1. Tires. If you don't use your trailer much, the tires will most likely rot before the tread wears out. Inspect every spring for cracks, tread separation, ply separation. If in doubt, have them professionally inspected, or replace every 4 or 5 years. Tires kept out of direct sunlight when not in use will last longer. 2. Records. I can never remember when I did what to which trailer. I put labels on the back side of tack doors. When I do anything I write it down. Looking at the labels was what reminded me that I was a year over due on wheel bearings.

Training/conditioning is one of the best tools available. It makes us better horseman and women, it benefits our horses and could quite possibly be the key to preventing most crashes. ~ Lisa Salas - The Odd Farm ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
