Understanding Your Equine Athlete's State of Wellness -  Part 3

The body, mind, and external factors surrounding the horse you ride provide the initial framework to determine where you can provide opportunities to build your horse's Fitness in Motion. 
 
The components of each category can overlap as there is not a clean line separating mind from body and everything about the environment is computed and affects how each of the other two components respond.   Keep Reading....

Spring has sprung!  Before you hit the trails, take a look at what we have to offer this month. . .
Aluminum VS Steel:  A Closer Look
 

Topic:

Aluminum

Steel

Strength To equal the strength of steel, generally 50% more aluminum structure is needed.  However, high quality aluminum is pound-for-pound stronger than steel. Generally, steel is stronger than aluminum.  However, high quality aluminum is pound-for-pound stronger than steel.   
Weight Aluminum is lighter than steel but can actually be stronger with quality materials and proper construction.  Aluminum is approximately 1/3 of the density of steel.   Steel trailers have been around longer than aluminum and have stood the test of time.  Steel is a heavier material than aluminum, it is denser by approximately 2/3.   
Fuel Economy Because aluminum is lighter, it has better fuel usage and efficiency in towing.  Because steel is heavier it can decrease fuel efficiency. 
Longevity Aluminum trailers do not rust, which can increase their life.  Older trailers can oxidize and if the aluminum is cheap and of inferior quality, it can require frequent acid baths.  Rust or oxidation can affect your trailer.  However, with galvanized steel the likelihood of rust is reduced.  Steel trailers usually require more frequent exterior maintenance.  
Expense Aluminum is a more expensive investment initially, however infrequent repairs, fuel efficiency and trade-in value often make the initial expense worthwhile.  However, aluminum repairs are more expensive than steel repairs.    Steel is more cost efficient than aluminum initially, however fuel usage, repairs and tow vehicle expense do impact the overall price.  Repairing steel trailers is cheaper than aluminum repair work. 
Trade-In Value Aluminum trailers tend to hold their value better than steel units.  Steel trailers tend to not hold their value as effectively as aluminum trailers. 
Appearance Aluminum does not rust, however cheap aluminum can oxidize and require frequent acid baths.  Aluminum does not need to be painted like steel.  Aluminum is an especially good choice for very salty environments.    Corrosion can cause rust spots to be visible and unsightly.  Re-painting may be necessary after a couple of years of use depending on weather conditions, etc.

Q:
 
 
A:
I have a question about my trailer maintenance - what needs to be done this spring?  Thanks for your help.
 

Typically a trailer that has not been used throughout the entire year should be inspected each spring. A simple inspection of the tires for inflation, wear and dry rot is a good beginning.

Check all exterior running lights for operation. Squirrels and mice love to gnaw on wiring.
 
If you have interior dome lights give them a try.
 
For trailers with wood floors, pull out the mats and check for any deterioration in the boards.
 
Inspect all handles and latches including the frame for signs of cracking.  
 
I suggest that a trained service technician inspect your brakes and brake linings, wheel bearings and repair any electrical items you may have found during your own inspection.
 
Living Quarter Trailers require a much more detailed service inspection and de-winterizing.
 
Check out the service specials at Double 4 for all of your trailering needs.
