Average Rating:
 Rating: - Good basicsA good basic understanding of horse behavior when dealing with trailering. More for the horse that has NEVER trailered than for one that just needs a refresher course...as mine did. Cherry Hill has a great understanding of the animal. For me a physical demonstration was necessary but the book helped with the basics. A good place to start, definitely. Rating:  - OK for broad general infoI read this book after I read The Complete Guide to Buying, Maintaining, and Servicing a Horse Trailer by Neva Kittrell Scheve, Thomas G. Scheve. I found this book rather disappointing and not very informative (possibly because I read the other book first) While it does have some information about the tow vehicles (you can get more information in a more understandable format from any man walking down the street that knows trucks) and more information on training the horses to load, I still found ... Read More Rating: - A worthwhile book for novicesThis book is less about horse trailers than I expected. It is more about preparing the novice horse and horse-person to load & unload their horse. It does not include a comprehensive discussion on the current types (and fads) of trailers, nor does it cover the "horse's perspective" of what makes a good trailer. The small sections on trailers and tow vechicles is okay, but not nearly as comprehensive and fact-filled as "The Complete Guide to Buying, Maintaining and Servicing a Horse Trailer" by ... Read More Rating:  - 2nd time around trainingThis is a must-have for anyone just trailering for the first time or working with a horse that was mistrained in trailering. Using Cherry's techniques has helped me to learn a great deal about my horse's previous training and given me the information needed to retrain him properly. I would recommend it for the novice or the pro! Rating: - A must haveThis book helped me put together a combination of safe tow vehicle; well-equipped, comfortable horse trailer; and well-trained horse. I wish I had read it years ago. It would have saved me and my horses a lot of trouble. I have recommended this book to many people and would suggest that anyone considering the purchase of a horse trailer and/or tow vehicle read it and re-read it before talking to a single dealer/seller.
