The Complete Guide to Buying, Maintaining and Servicing a Ho: Very thorough and easy to read. We are new to horses and had shopped a little for a trailer before reading this book, but found the whole process very overwhelming. We didn't really have any idea what we should be looking for and talking to all the different salesmen at the equine show proved to be just too much. This book covers everything from A-Z and points out the pros and cons of different types of construction materials, styles, options, etc. Much emphasis is placed on the safety and comfort of the horse. I feel that I am much better equipped to acquire the "right" trailer now that I know the "right questions".
Rave review of very practical book.: This is truly the complete horse trailering book. Whether you are looking for a new or used trailer or already have a trailer, whether you like what you have or want to improve it, this is a very valuable reference you'll return to frequently. It considers the horse's viewpoint as well as yours - safety, good investment, ease of towing, loading, maintenance .... Its well researched, full of pictures, diagrams, hints, lists....
No Horse Hauler Should Leave Home Without It!: Even if you have trailered horses for years, you will still find this book to be a "must have." It will remind experienced horsemen of checklists to follow for safe towing, and give the new comer an insightful, useful tutelage on the ins and outs of buying and hauling. Ms. Schreve has thorough research and experience to back up her advice. Absolutely excellent advice on being fullly prepared for on-road emergencies!
Many questions answered: I have started looking for my own trailer and this book has really answered a lot of questions that have been going through my mind as I have been shopping. It also has valuable information on the safty aspects for the horse. I have learned a lot and have been with horses for around five years. Highly recommend to anyone who currenly owns or is going to buy a trailer.
A "Must Read" for every horse owner!: This books points out so many issues regarding trailers and horses that should be "common sense", but are overlooked by the majority of trailer manufactures and unknown to the majority of horse owners. It debunks many of the current trailer fads and supports its positions with strong research and fact. After reading this book and recalling what I've seen in the past; I will not put my horses in half the trailers out there (including ones I've used in the past). Every horse that is transported deserves the benefit of the knowledge and advice in this book. You owe it to your equine partner!
