I don't think my camping picture came through in the previous post (third from the bottom at: http://www.dslextreme.com/~lgriffith/FireMountain/), but yes, on my previous trailer I slipped a plywood cut-out under the wheel wells so the horse coulsdn't get anything caught. But this trailer was bought after I had been camping and doing NATRC for several years and it has axles far enough apart that the horse can't get his leg caught, the fender has no sharp edges, and there are no sharp projections on the side of the trailer. The water bucket holder keeps the bucket secure. Lynn Kinsky, Santa Ynez, CA http://www.silcom.com/~lkinsky/ http://www.dslextreme.com/~napha/JoyOfRiding/index.htm
