- This is the first in a two-part series on trailering your horse. This series deals with the important things to know about the truck, the trailer, your own knowledge and experience and your horses, ability and experience in being trailered.
We now have a podcast! You can access it anywhere that you normally listen to your podcasts. You’ll find it under Dry Creek Wrangler Podcast.

I don't own a horse. I do not plan on owning a horse. But here I am watching Dwayne here from Dry Creek Wrangler School
"It's not a question of 'can my truck start the trailer and get it going'... the question is 'can your truck STOP your trailer in an emergency."
Ahhhh, now them poor horses are gunna catch second hand electrical problems from that dirty ol shipping crate!
I don't even own a horse or truck/trailer and I love this man's content!
I don't have a truck nor horses and still watched this video. I follow and watch Dwayne for the useful information. You can never learn too much. Maybe one of these years I'll have a truck and camper and I'll remember some things from this video.
Dwayne; That was about as Dead on target, as you can get, in dealing with individuals pulling Stock trailers. I hope folks will pay attention & learn from this advice. I had a One horse trailer hitch fail & come disconnected, when in my teens, on a busy road w/ few homes. The shock of seeing that traiiler: trying to pass me!! Was blessed that no injuries or damage occurred. That lesson was well over 50 yrs ago, but still vivid.
When your car breaks down and you're stranded it's a pain, at least inconvenient. Breakdown with a load of horses and your problems are massively compounded. Always have a good truck and trailer.
Dewayne, you forgot to mention how bad the truck brake fade will be without trailer brakes or the risk an overloaded trailer or the wrong Gooseneck Ball weight rating will cause when the ball shears in half and the trailer punches through the cab of the truck. This is almost even more important than the right size truck, that ball rating is SUPER important.
Great advice! I had a horse that would dance the cha cha while we were going down the road. Rocked the whole trailer back and forith the whole trip. I experienced just how important it is to have a heavy truck when hauling her along.
My wife and I own horses, and I'm a trucker by trade. This was a great and informative video for those who are looking into hauling their own horses or looking into getting into hauling. I have almost 2 million safe miles under my belt - I cannot tell you the horror I've seen on the road. Too much trailer and not enough truck, the salesman who sold you the trailer will tell you anything to make the deal. Never understood the reasoning behind having to run at breakneck speed while hauling a trailer - get there safe, and not a statistic. We used to be the gauge for the road - if the truckers are slowing down in wind, or bad weather - maybe you should too. Bearings - you know it's springtime when you see all the greaseable bearings that weren't - broken down equipment and burnt up axles up and down the highway - I'm not picking on people - it's just the truth. Great content - loved the video!
Thanks for a well made video on a very important subject. I recently upgraded the tires on my 33ft living quarters horse trailer to load range "G", because I got tired of blowouts while hauling the horses. I also highly recommend purchasing a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) for all horse trailers. The complete system will set you back about 300 bucks, but at a glance, you can see the temperature and pressure of each tire continuously. If one starts losing air or blows out, you get an immediate alert. Well worth the initial cost for the peace of mind and the safety of your horses.
I'm living in Ireland now and enjoying seen my neighbours training horses. Your channel gives me the same good feeling. !
This guy knows his stuff...New subscriber
Love the common sense approach. Much respect.
Currently crying in my half ton truck pulling my 2 horse bumper pull 😂
I dont own a horse. Im here for the spiritual applications that pop out from your talks, even a trailer talk!
I have been driving transport for forty five years and I must say that you gave excellent advice. Well done sir. I'm very interested in the next video as I have never hauled livestock.
Always looking forward to what he has for us!!!. Thank you Sir!!!!!
“That’s just Dewayne” gotta love it!
So so important to have the appropriate rig to pull that trailer and keep your brakes maintained. Fantastic video.
