Re: [RC] Equestrian culture may be fading into the sunset-California - D'Arcy Demianoff-ThompsonI agree with you Carla. Unfortunately, those smaller vehicles were lighter and shorter than most of the trailers they were pulling. Most states now have an ordinance that the towing vehicle has to be equal to or greater than the towed vehicle. I had no idea about this until I took my Jeep Laredo to rent a two horse bumper pull. Had to get out the specs of the vehicle to convince the rental company that it was safe enough (breaking distance ability) to stop the trailer from going through the back end of the vehicle should I have to slam my breaks on.
I have a friend in Merced that tows her two horse trailer around with a mini-truck! LOL! Of course that is all FLAT land! None-the-less government intervention is truly a spoil sport.
