[RC] re: Rest Stops - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: David Bennett endure161@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

Laws about this may vary by state but we routinely unload at
rest areas in the Southeast that have large grassy areas to
walk and even trot our horses.  Most recently, we stopped at two rest areas on 
I-81 in Virginia on the way to Old Dominion and at three on the way back.  The 
horses seem to be happy to get out of the trailer for a half hour or so.  My 
gelding will not pee in the trailer and he is *very grateful* to get out 
occasionally as we travel.  I would not unload at a rest area with only 
pavement for walking my horse but many have enough
room for a buffer from the interstate.

I ' ve  never heard it was illegal to unload horses at rest stops along the 
east coast corrider of Interstate Highways...mainly  I  81 /  I  95 
....(.Ones I used to travel the most anywhere from Va. to NY // or Va  to SC 
)... in fact I have   heard stories  of several that did, or do so, unload , 
so they 'say' routinely  ?.  I cringed every time !, I heard such. !!
