Lol....LL....yep when others do bad we know we can do better than that.

When I moved here, I bought my horse trailer back in Calif on my first trip back to get a medium size moving truck to haul some of my stuff here. Izzy was stuck in Ca with strangles. I ended up hitching up the trailer just before Christmas & loaded up our 13 eskie dogs & giving H a chance to see if he could make it work. I had NEVER hauled a trailer before & was still getting used to my truck. Pulled into Louisville to pick up our daughter for Christmas at my new farm. Got her into my truck a the car in front of us hit a cat....my daughter & I went to rescue it ( looked like broken back). Found the animal shelter to take it to to have it put to sleep. The animal shelter was down this curving driveway with no way to turn around. Luckily one of the guys working there knew how to back up a trailer or I would have still been there 9 years later. At that time I only knew how to go forward.

Since then I have spent a lot of time learning how to back up & am good at hitching up on first try. Amazing how much difference practice makes.
