I always thought that Horse trailers were LARGE enough to be seen regardless of what is inside.

Of course, Maybe the Tow Haulers are more dangerous because they have much higher ground clearance and use a ramp to load their ATVs. Folks give extra distance so they don't slide underneath and have that ramp drop on their heads.

Maybe we should go back to the old days with the horses tails hanging over the back door and road apples dropping on the hood of anybody that follows too close.

While I'm not a fan of the "show horses" sticker which sorta indicates that any other horse is not as important, you'd be surprised at how the average non-horse person is not familar with horse trailers.

We use our LQ for camping at RV campgrounds and we always get lookers asking what the trailer was built for since it is very different from the typical RV. We even had one guy say he wants a gooseneck hitch instead of his fifth wheel after seeing how much more beefy it was. Ha!

How about we invent a faux horsetail and a pitching machine that will spew horse apples onto the roadway out the back of the trailer? 

Ha Ha Ha! I'm for it! One time in town I was making a right hand turn. I somewhat went further into the intersection in order to make the turn without taking out the curb. Well, right when my truck was coming around to complete the turn I had two little cars squeeze up on my right and turn before I made the turn. Can they not see my big white self with top and side blinkers going? The bike lane isn't an extra car lane. I just don't think people who have no experience or knowledge of hauling trailers understand. It's frustrating.

I always figured it was a warning that if you don't like green stuff on your windshield, keep your distance and don't tailgate.

A few years ago, I was make turn and went wide so I didn't drag my trailer across the curb. And like the aboe post, I had a little car sneek up my right side just as I was making the turn. I felt a little bump bump and looked in the mirror and saw this little car going over the curb.  Traffic was horible, by time I got turned around and came back they were gone,  Big chunks of the curb were broke out.  I had just a couple little marks on my cat walk. I don't know if I pushed them over the curb or they just jumped the curb trying to get away from my trailer.   I had my signals on, so it was their fault for trying to turn inside of me. So I felt no sorrow.

Standard feature on the Blue Moon trailer.

I was thinking of putting a wide right turn sticker on our trailer but hubby said if they aren't paying attention to your blinkers and how big you are, they won't acknowledge the sticker either.

I was going to put the wide right turn sticker on too. but your hubby makes a very valid point!!!

My hubby said the same thing.. It is just really hard to admit them being right..LOL.

Although I am 35' long on the deck, so I am really a big rig and people don't get how wide I need to be to make that turn!!

I second this!

He is absolutly correct.  These same narcissistic individuals are the one you see trying to pass semi trucks making a right turn. There isnt a sticker big enough to get their attention. The best you can do is expect that some one is going to do something stupid to get around you.

A little off topic ....our Vet told our friends when they received a well bred /trained horse at a very good deal ( actually willed to them after a death) to tell everyone at the barn they boarded at who asked how much they paid for it ....that it was worth alot of money...so then  it would be well taken care of... and it was ...
