Re: [RC] safety sign for back of trailer - mjwest02

I was always warned about TAIL GATING!
 
You need a sign to caution:  Tailgaters Beware:  Watch for flying manure!

Subject: [RC] safety sign for back of trailer

I was trailering two of my horses to a local ride and
was riding with my two back doors open on my small, 2H
BP trailer.  One of the horses was a 16.2H big bodied
Paint, who not only pooped often, but in prodigious
quantities.  He was so large, that his pooping orafice
was higher than the top of the ramp and butt bar. 
There was a car so close to the back of the trailer, I
couldn't see him in my mirrors.  All of a sudden, he
backed way, way off.  When we got to our destination
and went to unload the horses, we finally saw why he
backed off.  There was a mountain of poop stacked on
top of the butt bar.  But it could not have been the
entire quantity.  This guy was so close that the horse
pooped out the back of the trailer and it landed (as
far as we can tell) on the hood of this car.
