Very lucky

[Bibs]

Mates had a nasty accident that could have been alot worse. Towing her trailer and 2 horses - trailer started to sway an next minute she was off the road and down a bank through some trees and a fence. The trailer rolled but luckily didnt roll the truck.







Horses were fine but for a few grazes, fact they are both large and just fitted in helped. Trucks a bit bent - towbar an wheel carrier but the winch bumper saved most of the front. Truck saved it being alot worse - can't imagine what would have happened had she been in something small.

She had been to Delemere forest with some others. It happened coming down the Kelsall hill.

Nasty. Glad the horses were okay.

A whit?

Bibs, I'm glad your mate and her horses were all OK.

[Lainey]

Glad your mate and the horses were ok.

If I had an accident like that and walked away I'd be keeping the truck

[RodLeach]

WOW!

Agree with everyone else, that could've been reeeeally bad!!

Ask her to sort me a lottery ticket bibs!!

[Cant Get Right]

glad all ok wi them.

[Predictable Bob]

Glad your mate's alright but the important thing is to find out what was the cause of the problem. The usual suspects for snaking related accidents are:

Tyre blowouts on the trailer

Badly loaded trailers

Mismatched outfit

Excess speed downhill

Braking when snaking starts

[Bibs]

whats the truck?

An LC amazon - 4.5ltr (I think) withca 4" lift

i bet the trailer had an alko hitch??

What is one of those?

Glad your mate and the horses were ok.
Cheers mate

She is pretty upset by it all an will prob never tow again - so bit expensive to run. She was a very slow driver towin so no one can work out how it happened.

Lottery - yeah someone was watchin over her.

Was one thing though- a landscape gardener helped by cutting the section which stops them biting one another - it was pressing on the mares windpipe. She never got his name or company so if anyone out there knows him. Funny thing was - as soon as the mare could breathe she started eating her haynet.......how bizarre is that.
