Distance isn't a problem but I guess it depends on how long the horse can tolerate being in a trailer.

Hey this reminds me. My daughter-in-laws brother is getting married in June in Farmingtion NM. We are thinking about going and making a vacation of it. We will be going thru Tx. Where do you live? Anywhere near the route that takes you to Albecurque (sp:) NM?

Horses can tolerate being in a trailer for quite awhile. I have hauled to Tx several times for competitions. You want to stop every 4-6 hours and let them stand in the trailer still for an hour or so, so they get a rest from the motion and vibration, and balanceing. Probably over 8-10 hours you would want to unload them and let them move around some. I've never hauled that long. but I know a lot of people who have. I have a friend who hauls horses all over the country for people as part of her job.

Sorry to hear about your dog. At least she died doing what she enjoyed though. Yall are most welcome, but to get to my place you drive to the bottom of Texas and stop 5 miles before you get to the Mexican border :') When we go thru NM we take I10 out of San Antonio but I think yall will take I20 out of Ft Worth? I saw Ksens post about the hobbit get together. We should plan something like that for the NES.

Hey Doug, I bought the Idiot book on horses. Want to borrow it when I'm thru with it?
