[RC] Hauling other people's horses - Kristi SchaafI hauled an acquaintance's horse 4 hours each way to a
clinic that I was attending. I was fine with splitting
gas costs, though deep down I was a little
disappointed that she didn't offer more, considering
that I went out of the way to get her and she slept in
my gooseneck the whole weekend. But, it was my fault
for not specifying what I felt was 'fair' so that's
water under the bridge. Anyway, what I was NOT fine
with was that when I got home and was cleaning up my
trailer I found that her horse had used his teeth to
make big raking gouges on my new $40K trailer's
manger! Those will be there forever. I realize that
horses DO things to trailers, and if it had been my
horse, I would have said "oh well" (but I don't worry
much about stuff like that since my guys are good
travelers). It made me realize that every time I put
someone else's horse in my trailer, any damage that
horse does, cosmetically or functionally, I'll be
paying a price. Since I'd prefer to keep future damage
to my trailer limited to things that are my fault, I
doubt I'll ever consider volunteering to haul anyone
else's horse again. Bah humbug, I know. Kristi iluvdez
