Re: Trailering

Kathie, You really need to consider how your horse hauls. If you have a 
2 horse bumper pull, a 1000 lb horse that's moving around a lot can 
really start your trailer whipping. Not a good idea when being passed by 
a semi for instance. The dividers can prevent a horse from being thrown 
around as much if you have to brake unexpectically, too. I think it's 
still better to stop & unload on that long of a haul.
