Jim,
I am not doing the rescue. My friend is. I am just helping by doing the transportation even though I am 200 miles away from where the horse is now. The horse in question is less than 2 years old. He needed someone to step in and say I will take care of him and fix his medical issues.

I myself am not into horses, but this guy is really worth saving even though the owner does not have the financial means to do it. It is an expensive proposition for the owner and I am trying to reduce some of his expenses. The owner bought the trailer sight unseen and I went to pick it up since I was the one that would be towing it initially. It was only 50 miles away. The price was right but the tires and lighting were not as advertised. That with the flat tire delay and the incoming weather arriving is what got me into the original jam I posted about.

I replaced all of the tires yesterday. It really needed them so I threw in another $500 for the tires. Working outside in the cold.My daughter and I replaced both tail / brake light assemblies. I was going to use DOT approved LED lights and then decided that it was seldom going to be on the highways so regular ones were a better deal. The clearance and license plate lights are still in inoperative but no one is going to stop us for that. I would love to fix them too before it leaves here, but it is just too cold to do other than essential work on it. In the end the trailer will end up with the horse about 95 miles from here near Aurora, Illinois.
