Is this too much to ask of them? 10 pts.?

Well your on the right track. #1 always clean out a trailer. #2 Always take someone not involved in the sale of the horse with you they may see things you dont. I would ask them to go with me to look at different horses, you probably wont buy the first one you look at anyway. Who knows they may offer to lend you their trailer,if they dont offer ask them. And everybody likes alittle gas money now days. Good Luck
