I have towed two horses for over 40 yrs and would be lost without a towing vehicle and horse trailer
3/21/2013 8:56:22 AM
Having my own rig is so much easier than having to coordinate with someone else to haul.
3/21/2013 7:31:55 AM
I have a 2 horse bumper pull and use it 1-2 times per week for local travel.
3/21/2013 5:47:18 AM
Why this survey? Seems rather pointless.
3/21/2013 12:02:21 AM
When my horse is in work I usually use my trailer about once a week.
3/20/2013 11:29:40 PM
I sporadically haul our horses, and my experience and confidence level are not as high as I'd like.
3/20/2013 11:23:46 PM
Looking to buy my first trailer soon!
3/20/2013 10:43:51 PM
It is truly amazing that my horses like to travel with me!

3/20/2013 9:57:59 PM
Have a three-horse slant load. Love it.
3/20/2013 9:17:45 PM
If you own a horse you should own a trailer, and be ready to haul at a moments notice!

Yes, I haul, and have a trailer, but I rarely haul. This answer was not an option you gave.
