Trailer Tips with Trisha Killion #3: Icy Ramps
Hi. It's Trisha Killion of Transwest Trailers bringing you another trailer tip to keep you rolling safely down the road, for all of our friends out there at Cowboy Spirit TV.
Today I'm going to bring you a word of caution. Traveling during the winter months and if you've got a ramp on your trailer, always, always, always check that ramp before you unload your horse. If you've been travelling, and there's ice and sleet and snow, moisture and condensation can build up on this ramp. And it can be like a skating rink.
So always check it, just like I know you always do when you're unloading your horse. Make sure that when that horse is backing out that it's not going to be a skating rink for him, and he goes flying off of there-- or you. Remember safety first.
I hope this tip has helped. Remember, if the tip isn't enough, give me a call. Thanks. Trisha Killion with Transwest.
