Learn What Works for You!
PENNSYLVANIA EQUESTRIAN July 2014 Page 17 Learn What Works for You! by Anthony Congelosi, Paul Congelosi Trailer Sales We have all heard at some point what the best method is to trailer horses. For example, some people are diehard believers that slant load is the best way to travel because they feel it reduces stress on the horses. However, the key to trailering is to recognize what your horses, and you as their owner, are comfortable with. Will you be able to load your horses one at a time, and then close them in a stall? And then when you get there, are you able to confidently release one horse at a time and have them step off the trailer? Or, is it easier for you to guide your horses straight up a ramp, and then back them off the trailer when you reach your destination? Do you need full partitions between each horse, or are half partitions better? Eby Aluminum Trailers: Engineered to Perform and Built To Last (Continued from page 16) for those requiring a specific slant load floor plan. For the serious Standardbred racehorse trainer and transporter, Eby manufactures the very popular PACESETTER SERIES, available in slant-load models, from 2 to 7 horses, with standard models typically in stock at Eby’s Blue Ball, PA location. Eby also offers sales of quality pre-owned horse trailers. The scope of Eby’s expertise goes beyond new and used trailers sales. Eby also offers extensive service and repair capabilities from its 6-bay service shop. From its fully stocked parts warehouse, supported by experienced parts salespersons, most orders can be completed from stock. Need a hitch? Eby can install it – including brands like the most popular B&W models. Darryl Breniser, Vice President of Eby, says, “We are a full sales and service horse trailer facility committed to providing the equine community with top-notch service on ‘all’ trailer brands.” M.H. Eby, Inc. is located in Blue Ball, PA in the heart of Lancaster County. For more information, visit www.mheby.com or call (800) 292-4752. Maybe your horses would be more comfortable in the open, stall-like atmosphere of a stock trailer? To complicate things even more, you can also buy a straight load trailer with a ramp on the side, and then you can load the horses up the ramp on the back and off the ramp on the side. Concurrently, you could also find a trailer that is like a standard two horse straight load in the back, with a slant stall in the front and a ramp on the trailer’s side. So, as you can see, the options become almost endless. So, if you can answer those questions one way or the other, you are able to get a pretty good idea as to what method is better for you. Before you make the investment, make sure YOU believe what you are doing is right, and that it is not simply what someone else is telling you to do.
