Winterize Your Horse Trailer

Usually it's in the driveway, ready to be hitched up at a moment's notice. Somehow, even though until the snow files, the trailer is accessible, not having it in the driveway seems to proclaim the end of the show season and summer. That makes me feel a little depressed. Because I only have two horse bumper pull, winterizing isn't a huge job. I still plan to have it rust proofed and cleaned within the next week. If you have a larger trailer, or one with living quarters, winterizing might be a bigger job. Endurance rider Karen Chaton has good advice for getting your horse trailer ready for winter including how to prevent weather checking on tires and preventing your curtains from fading.
