Trailer tip Tuesday
Load horses on the driver’s side when transporting a single horse in a straight-load trailer. 
If you’re trailering with two horses, load the heaviest one on the driver’s side. 
When hauling one horse in a Gooseneck slant-load trailer, load the horse in the first stall at the front of the trailer. These techniques will distribute the weight of the horse(s) and help balance the trailer especially on roads that crown in the middle.
In a 3 Horse Bumper Pull trailer, a single horse will ride well in the center stall. Both trailer axles will help carry the weight which is more evenly distributed.
