Re: [RC] Trailer Advise - Carol SuggsQuestion asked was "We are thinking of trading in for a three or four horse slant. I was wondering how you deal with it if the inner horse freaks out?" Juli: You can get a trailer that has a 1st stall emergency door. This comes in very handy in case you need to get into the trailer for some reason while your horses are loaded. It is also handy if you get rear ended and your back door is smashed and you can't open it. You can open the emergency 1st stall door and jump your horses out thru that exit. It might take you some time to unhinge the partitions (depending on what kind you have), but its doable.

I have a Jamco two horse straight load. We now have three horses...they keep showing up I don't know how it happens! ; ) We are thinking of trading in for a three or four horse slant. I was wondering how you deal with it if the inner horse freaks out. It seems cumbersome and dangerous to have to unload all the horses to deal with the horse having a problem and if you are trailering four with only two people it is hard to hold all the horses and have one person dealing with the problem. I am use to four horse head to head straights, but we totally cannot afford that! Just wondering opinions on this.
