This is my arguement with our state parks, we can not even tie to our

Tell me, do you put something up so they can not get a leg caught
under the trailer or between the tires if they lay down? that is why
I prefer picketing, my guys can move a great deal on a picket line, I
like your idea of having them move... do you do that with a picket
too?? I always have my picket tied to my sleeping rig, so I can feel
them... if they get into trouble..
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.
