Description

Trailers are a fact of life in the horse world. Sooner or later, everyone who owns a horse will have to deal with a horse trailer in order to haul to shows, races, hunts, and perhaps even to veterinary clinics. Up to now, when horse owners wanted information on trailers they had to rely on magazine articles or word-of-mouth recommendations. Not anymore. The Complete Guide to Buying, Maintaining, and Servicing a Horse Trailer is the first and only book for both owners and buyers of horse trailers. It's a resource that gives prospective buyers, faced with hundreds of models to choose from, the means to make the right choice. It's a manual that gives current owners information on maintaining and caring for their trailers. Foremost, they will learn from lifelong horsewoman Neva Scheve and Thomas G. Scheve, both respected industry insiders, that the safety and comfort of the horse should always be the primary concern. This authoritative book, with more than 175 illustrations, addresses a number of important topics, including how to: Determine whether to buy a new or a used trailer. Ask the right questions of the dealer or owner. Weigh the options and select the best model for your needs. Evaluate tow vehicles and hitches. Master pre-trip preparations. Care for your current trailer. Load, drive, and use a trailer safely. Deal with typical exterior, interior, electrical and mechanical problems. Assess the work of repairmen if the job is more than you can handle. "Complete" is not just an idle word: this book has an appendix that gives the names and addresses of the major trailer manufacturers to contact for literature. In all, the Scheves have given horse owners everything they need to make an informed purchasing decision that will benefit themselves and their horses. Read more

  • Good book about horse trailers
The book gave me some great insights into what to look for in a horse and stock trailers.

  • Very informative book with lots of insight.
This book helped me research what I wanted in my new trailer. I highlighted each and every interesting point they made, and there were lots of them! Down to the material you make the tie rings out of.. some rust.. some don't! It helped me pick a trailer that would be safe and reliable for me since I van lots of horses of all ages and dispositions and frequently on my own. I was able to pick a trailer that fit my safety needs as well as those of my horses learning from the mistakes of others instead of my own. A must read. Also gives repair and maintenance advise. ... show more

  • If you haul-out, you need this book
The book was recommended by a veterinarian at a horse rescue seminar. The book has all the material touted. Some experienced horse people might find some of the material elementary, but the details on electric brake and trailer wiring are what interested me. The driving tips should be frequently reviewed by everyone using a trailer to move their horses. It shipped and arrive as stated. Good produce, good service = 4 star. ... show more

  • Use the internet instead. Dated information, and very poorly printed.
Every bit ofi formation is out there free on the internet.. This book appears to have been printed in an ink-conservation mode and is close to impossible to read without really bright illumination. The pictures are even worse, if that is possible. All black and white, very grainy reproduction. Modern book printing techniques have left this old paperback behind in the weeds. ... show more

  • A Must-Have for Anyone Who Trailers Horses...
...Even if you think you know it all already. It really is a complete guide. You don't know what you don't know but this book will help you realize what you don't know and then lay out the answer in a clear and concise manner.

  • Great Horse Trailering Book!
Although the book was published in 1998, most of the information it contains has not changed. I was especially interested in the pros and cons of strait load versus slant load trailers. My questions were answered and I learned a great deal that I did not know enough about to ask. I highly recommend reading The complete Guide to Buying, Maintaining and Servicing a Horse Trailer.
