A Complete Trailering Reference
From selecting the right equipment to training to traveling
You can lead a horse to water, but can you lead him onto a trailer for the first time? Trailering Your Horse, illustrated with hundreds of photographs and drawings, takes the guesswork out of this essential equestrian skill. Here is everything a horse owner needs to know about selecting, maintaining, and operating trailers, and transporting horses. From techniques for determining a trailer's tongue weight to exercises that take horses through simulated loading to horse care en route, Hill explains it all and gives readers an reference they will rely on for a lifetime.
Cherry Hill is an internationally known instructor and horse trainer and has written numerous books, including 101 Arena Exercises for Horse & Rider, Horsekeeping on a Small Acreage, How to Think Like a Horse, What Every Horse Should Know, and Horse Care for Kids. Visit her at www.horsekeeping.com, where you can find information on her books, DVDs, and horsekeeping knowledge.

Must Have for Horse People,
By Abby's Mom (Vermont) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trailering Your Horse: A Visual Guide to Safe Training and Traveling (Paperback)
I found this book extremely helpful. Even though I don't trailer my horse but a couple times a year, I thought that the information provided, was layed out well and the pictures were great. Besides learning how to safely trailer my horse, this book also taught me how to control my horse from the ground using voice commands, which I found handy whether I was putting her on a trailer or not. I have all of Cherry Hill's books and the pictures always make things quick and easy to follow. What horseperson has time to read wordy, time-consuming volumes on horsecare? Pictures tell a thousand words!

A worthwhile book for novices,

This review is from: Trailering Your Horse: A Visual Guide to Safe Training and Traveling (Paperback)
This book is less about horse trailers than I expected. It is more about preparing the novice horse and horse-person to load & unload their horse. It does not include a comprehensive discussion on the current types (and fads) of trailers, nor does it cover the "horse's perspective" of what makes a good trailer. The small sections on trailers and tow vechicles is okay, but not nearly as comprehensive and fact-filled as "The Complete Guide to Buying, Maintaining and Servicing a Horse Trailer" by the Scheves. I would recommend "Trailering your Horse..." as a second source for the potential trailer buyer.

A must have,
By A Customer
This review is from: Trailering Your Horse: A Visual Guide to Safe Training and Traveling (Paperback)
This book helped me put together a combination of safe tow vehicle; well-equipped, comfortable horse trailer; and well-trained horse. I wish I had read it years ago. It would have saved me and my horses a lot of trouble. I have recommended this book to many people and would suggest that anyone considering the purchase of a horse trailer and/or tow vehicle read it and re-read it before talking to a single dealer/seller.
