Hello there

I've written a comprehensive horse trailer buying guide - where should I publish it, do you have any suggestions?

Thank you.

You should send it to me!  ;-)  Not only do I work for a publishing company, but I am in the market for a new trailer and will be making my purchase in the next week or so!

Seriously, send it to me- but you should sent it to Mr. Truck & Mr. Trailer, more content for this site really wouldn't hurt!

Cheers!

OK, so here is the URL for the Horse Trailer Buying guide:

http://www.trailerme.com/articles/articles/16/9/Choosing-%20the-Right-Horse-Trailer/Choosing-the-Right-Horse-Trailer.html

By the way, I'd love to accept any details for improvement and if you have anything to add to it, please let me know.

Hello Lonny...  In a critical reading, as you asked for; I would take issue with some of your statements.  As a "Comprehensive" guide you'll need to address GN or BP in the purchase decision.  Also, the few trailer builders you mention do a disservice to a great many other reputable builders.  I would not single out any builder.  But would provide a basis on which to judge the workmanship.  Otherwise you become a shill.

A few of your "facts" reveal a lack of depth and damage your credability.

"...Make sure the trailer you're considering is properly designed with some type of barrier between the steel and aluminum, as these two metals can cause electric shocks if they are touching. ..."   Implies a personal hazard? 

"... Check to see that the supports are placed the correct distance apart (generally 16 or 24 inches..."  Correct according to whom?  Building codes? Not applicable

I wish you sucess in your writing endeavors.  I know from experiance, it's hard to do well.

Thank you for your comments, how about everyone of you will add some paragraphs, and contribute some information, and we could actually convert it to a serious comprehensive horse trailer buying guide?

I think that you should leave the brands off at the end, you can't say something about all of the brands(nobody could), and you don't even include what most folks think are the premier brands.

Aluminum over steel will not shock anyone,

 Plywood is not prefered over aluminum floors,

 The thicker the studs are, does not cause more flexibility.

There are a whole lot of statements in your article that tells me you don't know very much about trailers, so it misleads the uniformed and that is who it is aimed at. 

Actually I paid for the article, anyone is interested in helping out improving it for $$? :)

I'd really like to create the ultimate guide for buying a horse trailer.

Lonny .. Your credibility is slipping away.  The first post of this thread you said you wrote a buying guide.   Now you say you bought it, implying someone else wrote it. 

 Over the internet, credibility is the only true currency.  Anybody can post anything.  Witness the recent sucessful phony propaganda photos/stories used against Israel.  I'm glad the internet has bloggers to allow a different view of "facts" and events

because it doesn't really matter who the author is, I'm trying to create a compete guide for horse trailers.

Anyways if anyone is interested in helping out, just let me know.

Thank you/.

How could you publish a comprehensive horse trailer buying guide, when the information is so vague. You don't go into material, there are different grades of aluminum, and also galveneal steel. You guide might make a 1 page brochure. What are your credentials to (write) or buy and publish this guide.

In my opinoin there is only one book that I have read about trailer buying and construction that is worth anything. I have used trailers and repaired them for over 40 years, and I have learned from this book. I suggest spend the money and buy this book,  http://www.equispirit.com/info/horsebook.htm

Thank you for all your comments, I'll do more research and try to come up with something better.

Again, thank you for all your help!

Maybe I'm missing something here.

I clicked on your website link. 

It looks to me like your trying to advertise for your "Trailers for Sale" site and using a buyers guide as another lure. 

I've lurked for many months, reading and learning - thanks for all the great advice and tips.  I finally think I have something to contribute.  I most heartily second BigT's recommendation to purchase Neva Scheve's book:  The Complete Guide to Buying, Maintaining, and Servicing a Horse Trailer. 

She explains all aspects - including those pesky weights - so that even I could understand them!  She also gives presentations - for those in the Mid-Atlantic area, I noticed she will speaking at the VA Equine Extravaganza and she usually speaks at the Horse World Expo in Timonium, MD in the winter.  A caveat - she does have her own trailer line now, but I don't think she had started it when she wrote the book.  The book is careful not to hype one line over another - just good, solid advice on what to look for to be safe.

(No, I don't work for her, nor do I own her trailer - just found the book extremely helpful.)

Dave I think you have figured out what is going on here, he is trying to draw traffic to his site. He has also PM'd me about being a moderator for the forum on his site. "Like I can be neutral on anything". Anyway as some have stated above you lose all credibility on the internet once you are caught in a lie and he has been misleading at best and flat out lieing at worst.

I was also asked to be a moderator on his list, this was a ploy to look at his site. How many other members have been contacted by him?

Plus one ... Three and counting ...

Looks like Lonny took his "Guide" and left...

The guide is no longer at the original link.

I hesitate to visit his site as I don't want to inflate his traffic count.

Now that's funny I don't care who you are.

I knew he was in trouble when he asked me to be a "moderator". I don't do anything in "moderation".
