Increase Equine Performance with Truck Air Ride Suspension Towing System
You?ve planned the season?s races, and you've worked out all the details of entries, trainer, trailer, and tack. Now the focus is solely on your horse and his performance. How well will you be able to maintain your equine athlete?s mental and physical strength for the season?
Your horse?s performance depends on wellness and one of the easiest ways to ensure that she stays mentally and physically healthy is to eliminate the stress created when you travel with your horse. Any time you set out on the road with your horse in tow, you are placing her at risk for injuries. Often, rough hauling can initiate mental or physical stress in your horse. Remember, every sharp turn, every dip in the road, every bump you go over, is felt by your horse, making her feel disoriented and stressed out by the time you reach your destination. In the worst cases, some horses suffer from pulled muscles, bruises, and torn ligaments, all due to rough transporting.
Installing a truck air ride suspension system is a sure-fire way to guarantee that your horse enjoys a smooth ride and is protected from the emotional and physical stresses of transportation. With an air ride suspension system, both you and your horse will benefit from a smoother ride, fewer bumps, slower braking, and less vibration fatigue.
Whether you?re traveling five miles or five hundred miles, an air ride suspension system will help you haul your horse more smoothly, with less anxiety and fewer injuries. He will arrive at your destination more rested and relaxed ? and ready to give his best on the track.
Do I Really Need an Air Ride Suspension System for a Horse Trailer?
Definitely! Often, first time horse owners try to cut expenses and opt not to install an air suspension system - until AFTER their first bad towing experience. But, as any experienced equestrian enthusiast will tell you, whether you use your trailer professionally or recreationally, the costs mount up for hauling and performing. The total cost of your towing vehicle, trailer, tack and horses, in addition to all other expenses involved in the equine experience, make the, cost of an air ride suspension system minimal. It will pay for itself quickly by reducing stress on your horse and preventing inevitable repairs over time.
What if you already have air suspension in your truck or trailer? Well- that?s definitely an advantage. But, the most critical location for eliminating torque (and ensuring a smooth ride) is at the hitch. Without a truck air ride suspension hitch, you are still lacking maximum protection and cushioning for your horse ? and yourself.
With an air ride suspension system, you?ll have a safer ride overall. The air suspension system allows for precision braking and more control around curves ? both of which will reduce motion impact on your horse. Another advantage to an air suspension system is its ability to adjust to load size, so if you?re towing a young filly, a large stallion, or even two horses, you can feel confident that they are adequately protected and in good condition to perform.
Whether you?re a novice or a professional, before you head out on the road for another show, consider installing an air ride suspension system. You?ll both enjoy the ride- and just maybe your horse will thank you with a stellar performance on the track!
