I was pleased when I was asked by The Massachussetts Horse Magazine if they could interview me for the debut Equine Affair release of their november 2006 issue. The article is horse sense: Trailering: The long and short of it.  The article was 4 pages long but I have only included below the notes from my interview:
The longest transport Tracie Winslow Dulude, of Wind Dancer Farm and Equine Transportation LLC in NH, has been to Florida.  "Although I provide most of my services to the New England region, I do make exceptions for clients and travel further.  Tracie, has been a veterinary technician for 10 years, and has a 4 horse slant load trailer with ramp and dressing quarters, pulled by a F250 diesel crew cab.   Loading In:  When people are in a rush this causes the horse to react in a negative manner.  I witness people chasing the horse with a broom or trying to pull it in.  Anyone whom thinks they can force a 1200 lb animal, with a mind to not go where you want it to, will always fail.  This causes a bad experience.    Many times a horses loading issues have been caused by bad driving techniques.  Turning corners must be done slowly, as should braking and accelerating.   Anytime I transport a horse I take pride in knowing he or she was safe, comfortable, and given the best experience possible. 
Road Worthy:   I carry more than one emergency kit should a situation arise where more than one is needed, although I've never had to use one.  Tracie has been transporting horses since 2001.  I take pride in the fact of knowing that my trailer and truck are safe.  I advise owners transporting thier own horses to keep up regular maintenance.  Preparation of the trailer is also important: bedding, hay, water, and safety checks!
