Hi, Laura:

Check the trailer specifications. Mechanics and salesmen will often mistakenly sell you inappropriate tires for hauling horse trailers (they just don't understand the live weight principle). Those same guys are the ones who will swear to you that a Ford Ranger or a Toyota 4Runner will safely haul your trailer...

If you didn't get an owner's manual with the trailer, search it online. Check with the manufacturer if possible, otherwise, go to a trailer dealership with your truck and trailer, discuss what you haul, and get their advice about what tires to put on your trailer.

I'm shopping for new tires for my horse trailer. The trailer is a heavy one, 10,000lbs laden. My mechanic suggests Carlisle tires, anyone ever hear of them?

Just wanted to let everyone know that you can now read about my journey and other Junior and Young Rider's experiences leading up to and at this year's North American Junior and Young Rider Championships at http://www.clubequestrian.com/coverage/2010najyrc.aspx. Thanks!

so happy to hear that Courtney King-Dye is recovering after her horrible riding accident! Even though she still has many struggles ahead of her it's nice to hear her optimistic tone. She was always one of my most respected role models and still is. To read her latest update visit http://www.courtneykingdressage.com/.

Unfortunately, as Courtney improves another American rider had a riding accident that left him with a fractured pelvis. At least Guenter Seidel was wearing a helmet at the time and didn't face any worse injuries. http://www.eurodressage.com/equestrian/2010/06/13/guenter-seidel-fractures-pelvis-riding-accident

Thanks to all who responded. I was hoping for a more elegant solution, but a Wintec it will be!
By the way I'm in the Hudson Valley, known for it's humidity, I had no idea it was a factor.

The late medieval nobility turned dressage into a sport by giving public demonstrations of "horse ballets" to wow the commoners during public celebrations. They would do airs above the ground as well as movements on the ground. The late medieval kni…
