We worked at the trailer again today. The first two hours did not go good. Then I moved the trailer so the step up was not so high. At the new parking situation, he loaded twice in ten minutes. The step up is about 18 inches and the new perspective made it less than 12 inches. I don’t think the height is that important but I will not argue with success. I will continue working at the new parking situation and hope it will be that easy next time. I feel guilty that this might be the problem and I have put Magic (and myself) through this ordeal just because I missed the obvious. Rosie Crawford, our local horse trader legend, always drove a one ton ford and loaded thousands of strange horses onto that high deck. But he was Rosie Crawford and I am John Brown. I just moved the trailer out of desperation that what I was doing was not working. We will see what happens. I hope it is the problem. I’ll buy some low profile racing tires for my 1972 Hale Stock Trailer!
