Don't blame you. How are you feeling?

Huh - good advice to file away somewhere!

Of course, one thing I stress with people who have horses that are tough loading, particularly if they didn't used to be, is that the idea of "Make it hard out of the trailer, and comfortable in the trailer" extends to your driving as well... it only takes a few bad corners and sudden stops before the trailer is a scary place again.

I'd recommend that people who have never ridden back there try it sometime. I've ridden several times in the back - in the past, riding with babies to keep them quiet and help them balance, and it's a good experience to encourage slow and easy good trailer driving.

He stopped by my house and told me the low pipe was for me, and I was welcome to ride there anytime,

Hey that's wonderful! But yikes, he sounds like he has a temper. Sounds like he really wants to drive his point home! :-)

We had a problem on my parent's property with a guy down the street 4 wheeling on our property. Part of it is a protected tree farm, though part of it is also protected wetlands. Well needless to say the guy destroyed things pretty bad, destroyed the little wooden bridges my dad had put across streams etc as well as tearing up the land. We've also had problems with yuppie hunters coming right up to the edge of the treeline looking for deer and cutting through our yard, and our vegetable garden!

But I hope that sign doesn't antagonize anything, which I'm guessing it will eventually.

I will agree with Beaker that you should look for another place to ride. You do not want to get caught in a crossfire while riding those trails.

BTW; there is nothing like having several heavily armed hunters on 4wheelers ride up to you in your pasture and inform you that they are going to hunt on your land...........

I watched that one too and also thought it was very good. That's basically how I trained Tennessee to get in my 3-horse slant. He's still not "happy" to be in there, but he will get in. I've got to find some time to work with him on it some more, before I take him to that shoeing clinic. I hate having loading problems in front of a bunch of people who want to "help". It's dark every day when I get to the barn so it's really hard to get it done. I'm living for Daylight Savings Time!

Me too! I spent all day printing 1099s yesterday. I so appreciated the folks in accounting waiting 'til the last possible minute. And of course the main printer was not working when I got in there and I had to go find another one, which happened to be down the hall in a CLOSET. Nothing like running a large impact printer with the forms door open in a confined space. Luckily I had earmuffs.

hehehehe....I'm really looking forward to it.

I mentioned in the Hobbit Hole that I don't think I'll get much sleep tonight since I'll be worried about missing such an early flight.
