Summary: The Complete Guide to Buying, Maintaining and Servicing a Ho
Review: As a novice in the horse world I had no idea where to start looking for a safe and reasonably priced horse trailer. This book was a wealth of information covering all the main topics (slant load or straight load, gooseneck or tag-a-long; steel or aluminum construction)and offered lot's of details I would not have considered (hay bags, nets or mangers; ramp or step up's; windows open or closed). I completely changed my mind about what to look for in a trailer and believe I have now have the information necessary to buy the safest trailer available and the most appropriate tow vehicle for my choice of trailer. The authors are very knowledgeable and have written from experience. The only problem I had with the book is that it is almost too much information but it will continue to be a resource for any questions that arise in the future. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: No Horse Hauler Should Leave Home Without It!
Review: 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!

Summary: A wealth of Information .... maybe too much!
Review: I bought this book because I'm shopping for a horse trailer. What a find! The author covers every possible topic which gave me a whole new list of questions to bring to each dealer I visited. She stresses safety of the horse first, the owner second; she describes trailering from the horse's point of view; she covers many topics I would not have even considered as a first time trailer buyer.

This book is a must for any horse owner because your horse, at some time or another, will be trailered somewhere. After reading this one, you will know if you want your horse riding in a friend's trailer that may not be as safe as she thinks it is.

Without this book's information I would have been woefully unprepared for my trailer buying duties.

Summary: A "Must Read" for every horse owner!
Review: 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!
