Good points, I am not gloomy doomy about the long term outlook for overall life in America.  Yes fuel prices are high and probably won't be a buck a gallon again... but we will adapt.  My **small** worry is that I am buying high, right before the bottom falls out of the horse trailer (newer used) market triggered by high gas prices.  People who are so-so about horses will decide it is all too much money.  They are already giving away their horses in some parts of the country.

Right now, I can't find good newer used 2H trailers for anything less then brand new quite frankly.  The market forces seem to be keeping prices high for that niche.   I was just wondering if people expected the bottom to fall out of the trailer prices soon.  Sounds like probably not with the 2H market - right where I am shopping!
