this will tell you .. if you can pick it up "Quickly" or NOT...

This is what I tell my first time horse trailer people to do BEFORE ever buying a trailer,
especially if they have NEVER pulled a trailer.
AND
Pick up 2 orange traffic cones at the local hardware store.
Rent a long U-Haul and go directly to the empty are of a shopping mall parking lot.
1. First Practice going up and down the aisles. till you have that down pat.
2. Then place the 2 traffic cones, one on each side at the end of a lined parking space. And practice backing in from both directions of the aisle. Without knocking down the cones and centered in the middle of them.
This practice test, without investing big bucks on an RV will tell you whether you want to and/or can handle a TT. :C
BTW: After practicing with a U-Haul in a parking lot.....Over 50% of my horse people decide they do NOT want to haul a trailer. :W
