The other problem with trailers that are too high in front is that it also
changes the weight distribution for the horses, potentially causing them to
be more fatigued upon arrival due to having to stand on and adjust balance
while on a "hill".  

I don't have any science to back this up, just intuition.

> > As for the front sitting too high...we pulled our 4h Sundowner with LQ
that way for quite a while.  It put more weight on the rear axles, but tire
wear looked even, and it wasn't *that* much higher in front, so we didn't
worry about it.  Rest assured, even though you can't see it, it *is* putting
more wear on the rear tires of the trailer.  We blew both rear tires within
a week or so of each other.  Adjusted the trailer to ride level, and have
never had another problem.
