The link didn't show any particular grinder. Thanks so much. Hi Karen,

Which lightweight angle grinder is on your “wish list” after the one from Harbor Freight dies? The link didn’t show any particular grinder.

Thanks so much.

She started is several years ago as a side to her main job. It is called the Organized Barn and Trailer. Here is the web site. http://www.organizedbarn.com/index.html I just thought it would be something you would like. You are far more organized than I am! I enjoy the blog and I think I will be attending your Grand Canyon XP this year if everything works out. Catherine Hi Karen,

I'm very new to the sport and have done all my riding in the Alberta prairies and Rocky mountains. Although I enjoy reading your articles, I would be very interested to hear about any adventures that you've had up North, eh. Thanks, Hi Karen, Do you and/or the AERC travel up to Canada to ride?

The best way to find out is to put her on it at home. Start with a couple of hours and work up to overnight. Then do that two or three nights before you go somewhere. I've had horses that pulled before that were trained to go on a trailer tie without any problems. I also think that tying to a tie or to the trailer is safer than using corral panels. I've seen lots of wrecks over the years in very kind of containment system there is. The best way to avoid that is to practice ahead of time at home. Good luck and safe travels!

You made a comment that if your horse pulled, you wouldn't put them on a hiline. I have a mare who pulls on occassion but thought that the hiline would be better because she would be less likely to end up in a situation where she would feel she needs to escape, due to the freedom of the unit. She does release at the pole if I ask her, by the way. THoughts? I too don't like the wrecks I've seen occur with panels at rides and with this new trailer, I'm thinking we'll be going away for longer journeys and further away from home. I really need a better solution than just tying to the trailer. Look forward to hearing from you - If you are creative enough to come up with something like hilining your hilines together, you probably have other solutions that I can't think of.
