Some of the trailers have horses sitting on the trucks
hitch, thus the second story

Dave -
Or someone, can you satisfy my curiousity regarding the Illinois truck
wreck...just how were those horses loaded onto that double decker? Were
they on the top deck and if so, what type of facility would be needed to load
and off load those animals?
Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't it be necessary to have a very long
ramp to get those animals on the top portion of the decker? I envision a
total nightmare in loading and off loading these animals because of the height
they would have to go to get to the top deck, and Lord knows how any
inexperienced horse would load under other circumstances given other types of
trailers. A long tall ramp and a misstep.. sheesh!
Were the horses tanquilized to get them up that steep incline, or did they
have some type of building to accomodate the loading of those animals at one
facilty to the next?
So then, to load these horses, please tell me what kind of facility handles
that?
Thank you.

PS - On the subjuect of tranquilizing, some horses do not do well and will
actually get wild under the dart. Horses are notorious for not handling
the drugs well and the drug will work adversly. Example: case when
Ruffian the famous thoroughbred thrashed wildly after surgery...but other
instances are often when people use drugs to calm their beasts to load and I
have personally seen horses nearly kill their handlers because the drug was not
working as expected.
