[RC] Unloading during trips - Kristi SchaafJim - Your post could have been written by me, to the letter. We do exactly what you do, and have the same beliefs that you do. We haven't found many others who think the same way, though. They say "Your horse will eat grass sprayed with weed killer and die!", "Your horse will get loose and run down the interstate with the semi trucks", "Your horse won't get back in the trailer and you'll have to live at the truck stop", etc etc. Sure, all of those things could happen, but in the scheme of things I'll take the risk because of the benefits I see in unloading. I loved your comment about if trailer loading/unloading is stressful for the horse, then you need more practice at it. Like yours, our horses love to get out and stretch, and pee on real ground. Even a really hyper horse that my hubby used to own would be a perfect gentleman at truck stops, because he was just so glad to get out for a bit. Kristi ===== Life's a journey, so enjoy the ride (and try not to fall off) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
