Sooner or later, everyone who owns a horse will have to deal with a horse trailer in order to haul to shows, races, hunts, and perhaps even to veterinary clinics. Up to now, when horse owners wanted information on trailers they had to rely on magazine articles or word-of-mouth recommendations. Not anymore. The Complete Guide to Buying, Maintaining, and Servicing a Horse Trailer is the first and only book for both owners and buyers of horse trailers. It's a resource that gives prospective buyers, faced with hundreds of models to choose from, the means to make the right choice. It's a manual that gives current owners information on maintaining and caring for their trailers. Foremost, they will learn from lifelong horsewoman Neva Scheve and Thomas G. Scheve, both respected industry insiders, that the safety and comfort of the horse should always be the primary concern. This authoritative book, with more than 175 illustrations, addresses a number of important topics, including how to: * Determine whether to buy a new or a used trailer. * Ask the right questions of the dealer or owner. * Weigh the options and select the best model for your needs. * Evaluate tow vehicles and hitches. * Master pre-trip preparations. * Care for your current trailer. * Load, drive, and use a trailer safely. * Deal with typical exterior, interior, electrical and mechanical problems. * Assess the work of repairmen if the job is more than you can handle. "Complete" is not just an idle word: this book has an appendix that gives the names and addresses of the major trailer manufacturers to contact for literature. In all, the Scheves have given horse owners everything they need to make an informed purchasing decision that will benefit themselves and their horses. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A recommeded book for the beginnerA great book that takes you through all the basics and gives very good explinations of what he is talking about. Walks you around all the different types of trailers and what is importaint. This is a great book to someone new to trailering or looking to buy or a great refresher for the seasoned horse owner. Rating:  - Great trailer buying guideAs an experienced horse owner, I found this book very helpful to look at horse trailers in a whole new light. This book is great at pointing out all the little flaws that different trailers may have and defiantly helped me make a check list to bring with me to purchase my next trailer. I would recommend this book to anyone, novice or experienced, who is on the market for their first or 5th trailer! Rating:  - The Complete Guide to Buying, maintaing and servicing a horse trailerthe book itself is very informative and useful for a new trailer owner. the disappointment that I feel is having the supplier say that the book is new and receive a new book but that has been scored from top to bottom on the front cover. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! i tried to contact the supplier but they apparently don't have a useful email address. Rating: - good bookThis book is well written. It gives lots of great information about horse trailers. I do wish there was more written about recommendations for the actual vehicles being used to pull the horse trailer. Rating: - No Horse Hauler Should Leave Home Without It!Even if you have trailered horses for years, you will still find this book to be a "must have." It will remind experienced horsemen of checklists to follow for safe towing, and give the new comer an insightful, useful tutelage on the ins and outs of buying and hauling. Ms. Schreve has thorough research and experience to back up her advice. Absolutely excellent advice on being fullly prepared for on-road emergencies!
