Horse Costumes

Kayla Jordan & her Horse Prince

This photo was sent in from Candy Jordan.     Gorgeous girl, gorgeous horse, gorgeous costume.    I am sure this horse is more of an angel than a devil in real life.  On the other hand, my two-year-old is going as a devil this year and believe me, the costume fits!

How to Back a Horse Trailer

Horse Trailering Can be Fun and Easy

Most of us are in it for the horses.  But trucks, tractors and trailers come with the territory.     If you want to go to shows, clinics and trail rides with your horses, learning how to drive a truck and trailer is essential.   

When you get to your destination, you usually have to back in your horse trailer.   Here are a few tips:

•  If you are really awful at backing and can unload your horses first, that would be a nice thing to do for them.    
•  Also, if you can practice lots with any empty trailer that is even better. 
• Have a ground person, if possible, directing you.
• Tip: Point your truck wheels in the opposite direction you want to go.  For example, if your trailer is too far to the right, turn your truck wheels to the right.

This will get the job done, but if anybody else has more pointers or clever tricks please feel free to leave them!
