Leigh,  No fair saying DAH to me when I posted my admission to having done
something stupid.  (I was almost out the door to go riding when this occurred
to me) That was the point of the posts, that we all make mistakes.  Also, I
think I get some slack here, I had just ridden all 5 days of the Outlaw ride
and my brain was a little fuzzy.  Still don't like those slant load trailers.
Although there was a good post with helpful instructions on how to safely load
a horse into a slant load.  I wonder how many people actually do it that way.
