Friday, January 7, 2011 - Laundry and Trailer Search

Everybody had a busy day today, our friends at work and us doing laundry, observing David work with a mare in preparation of breeding her, and searching for a horse trailer. We want to upgrade to something with a full dressing room or tack area for more storage, and possibly even to a 3-horse trailer if we can find the right one. No hurry, our little blue 2-horse works fine, we would just like to reclaim the back seat of my new truck as a seat and not a saddle storage area. Found a couple of possibilities, and actually drove south about 90 minutes to a place that had one for sale, but it wasn't exactly what we were looking for. So many of the trailers in this area are actually stock or combo trailers, but we really want something that can be fully enclosed for those inevitable days that are either cold, or dusty. We'd really like to avoid arriving somewhere with our horses covered in dust just because we came down a few miles of dirt road, which is typical when we stay in National Forests or Wildernesses, and we think a fully enclosed trailer might to the trick. But owner Pammie was very nice anyway, it was delightful to meet and speak with her, I'm sure she won't have any trouble selling the trailer, it was nice and would be fine for short trips, but we really need something with a bit more padding and more closed in. Onward ho!
