SOLID FOOTING A non-steep
ramp is more comfortable for
your horse.
Ramps should be low to the ground and not slippery. It should be possible to
reach every horse individually in the event of an emergency. (This is a special
problem with many slant load trailers.) Butt and chest bars should quick
release.
Safety in design also includes road safety. All brakes and lights should be in
perfect working order and the emergency breakaway brake battery should be
charged. Safety chains on tag-along trailers must be crossed underneath, and
ball hitch gooseneck hitches should also have safety chains or cables. Tires
should be inflated to the recommended capacity, and rubber torsion suspension
will not only reduce road shock for the horse, but will be an added safety
feature if the event of a flat tire. It is most important that a tag-along trailer be
hitched to a frame mounted Class III or Class IV hitch, and that the trailer be
towed in a level position. Whether you are towing a gooseneck or a tag-along
trailer, you must have a properly rated tow vehicle to insure your own safety.
