Be slower and further away from other cars as you won't have the stopping power. Any of the extras (anti-sway, spring and distribution) are apparently unnecessary, according to the guys around here. Doesn't make it true ... but you know. Trust me, I'm super cautious about hauling with horses. I don't ever go more than 65 even on the interstate, and slow down at intersections even if there are no cars and a green light. Must say I was impressed last night. I idled the truck along and stopped the truck with the trailer! Not going to do that much, but the truck shop guy told me to do that so I would know if the brakes were working. Pretty darn cool. Today I go out for a thorough inspection of tires (inflating if necessary) and a cleaning of the trailer. I have some hay particles that I don't want flying into Buttercup's eyes. I usually put on her fly mask, but if she has her hay net, she tends to try to rub her eyes on the hay and then gets hay stuck in the mask holes ... so best to just remove particles lol
