re: [RC] driving with trailer RANT Sorry... - Gloria Adams
BOY! Does this sound like MY husband, unfortunately… I
now have 1 horse that won’t get in the trailer because of his driving
(going off the road onto a shoulder because he is ditzing/ gaping/ looking around/
trying to read while driving like the proverbial woman driver; denting the
horse dividers from horses slamming to his braking stop; bending wheels &
getting flats from cornering fast & too close, going over curbs, etc.
& this J _ _ _ (fill in the blank) has been driving
horses for 15 yrs (& riding them more than me – so this is no “Doing
a Favor for Wifee” situation). Do you think he’d listen to his
wife? NOT! Do you think he’d let me drive his “Precious” –
from Gollum – truck, nope.
I hope he sees this on ridecamp…
Sorry, had to rant as I’m tired of the scared, hurt
horses, & worry, & expenses from trailer/truck repair.

driving with trailer
My = pet peeve is the people who haul their trailers
like they are driving = without anything behind them without taking
consideration for the amount = of extra road they need to stop that rig.
I know that a lot of the new = trucks haul the goosenecks like they aren't even
back there. So flying = down the road at 75 feels comfortable but it
certainly not safe.
