THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT HITCHES
 
It is vital to use the proper hitch when towing.  We hope you will find the information below helpful:
 
Weight-Carrying (Non-Weight Distributing) Hitch:
A weight-carrying (non-weight-distributing hitch) is commonly used to tow small and medium-sized trailers.  Choose a proper hitch and ball and make sure its location is compatible with that of the trailer.  Use a good weight-carrying hitch that uniformly distributes the trailer tongue loads through the bumper and frame.
 
Weight-Distributing Hitch:
A weight-distributing hitch is used in conjunction with a hitch platform (receiver) to distribute tongue load to all towing vehicle and trailer wheels.  Required for certain Class III and all Class IV applications.
  • Weight-distributing hitch platforms are welded or bolted to the vehicle frame.  Bolt-on types are recommended because they can be removed.
  • A properly installed bolt-on weight-distributing hitch platform will not weaken the vehicle or underbody as heat of welding might.
  • Equalizing arms are connected from the hitch to the trailer's A-frame.  They can be adjusted for best towing performance.  Lengths of chain are pulled up and tightened to bend spring bars upward, which lifts some of the weight from the rear wheels and transfers weight to the other wheels of the vehicle and trailer.

Gooseneck Hitch:  A gooseneck hitch is mounted in the pickup bed to put more of the trailer weight directly over the towing vehicle.  The receiver centerline of the hitch should be mounted at least two inches forward from the rear axle of the truck chassis.  This mounting location will distribute the king pin weight of the trailer for optimum load-carrying and sway-control performance.  Care must be taken to maintain nominal clearance from the back of the cab to the front of the trailer during tight cornering or backing maneuvers.  Failure to follow this recommendation can adversely affect the towing vehicle's steering, braking and handling characteristics.

HOOF HELP

Foot care is one of the most neglected horse management practices.  Most lameness that impairs the usefulness of a horse can be prevented by proper foot care and reasonable management.
 
Foot care should be as routine as feeding and watering.  It should include
  1. routine cleaning
  2. periodic trimming
  3. corrections of minor imperfections
  4. treatment of foot dieases and injuries

Routine foot care:  Disease organisms concentrate where animals are confined, so cleanliness is important.  Horses kept in a stall or small pen should have their feet picked or cleaned daily to reduce the risk of thrush.  Thrush is the condition resulting from bacterial penetration into the frog and surrounding area.  The bacteria produce a foul odor and cause the frog to become soft and mushy.  If allowed to go untreated, serious lameness can result and extensive treatment will be necessary.

After riding, clean the sole and check for gravel or other foreign objects that could be lodged in the natural depressions of the foot.  A nail, gravel, stick or other object can work into the foot and cause lameness of long duration.  Objects have been known to exist in a horse's foot for as long as a year before emerging at the heel or along the coronet.  When a foreign particle emerges at the coronary area, a sore (called a quittor) usually develops.  This problem can easily lead to serious infection.
