I've always wondered...they don't REALLY haul horses in those things, do they????
They are the tightest, most airless, rolling coffins I've ever seen! :roll:

[PASOFAN]

LOL, just junk...

[Beth Worden]

OK - I admit it's bad, but I HAVE seen worst!!!! And it was at a horse show in NY and that's all I'm gonna say.

[Cindy]

LOL.....but we always had a good chuckle........I know exactly who you aera talking about - and we all love you gals who owned it!!!!!!!

I will say it has been replaced with a 2 horse bumper pull - and we missed the old one last year!!!

:lol:

Should have been around for the two-horse in tandem horse trailer.

:oops: :oops: I'll remember not to admit ownership of my beat-up stock two horse goose neck. I haven't seen one as ugly as mine yet at a paso show. I love that thing.

oh, i've seen some ugly trailers! my first trailer was a 16' foot red livestock trailer with the white canvas top. it was in good shape, but it was still a "stock" trailer. my father in law referred to it on more than one occasion as a "pig" trailer. i took it to the summer paso fino show in ocala in '98 or '99. as my father in law was walking across the parking lot to greet me, he said i should be ashamed to haul such nice horses on a pig trailer. about that time, i noticed an old beat up bumper pull trailer, kind of a deli mustard brown in color. stenciled on the side in faded black letters were these words, PIGS FOR SALE. :lol:

I said UGLY - did not mean to imply not-serviecable. Not meaning to pic on anyone. Just could not resist. Heck - we've all driven junk cars, trucks, etc at one time or another myself included.

Look, when I was a kid we hauled to the local fairs, etc. in a pick-up truck with 2x4's for side racks and the horses heads hung over the CAB. NO masks, shipping boots, etc. Just back up to the bank and tell em to jump on. Same for exiting. If a horse trusts you enough to do that - you have a BROKE horse! Same with the little one horse trailers - I will buy a horse that will walk calmly onto those trailers - especially if they have been on it before!

HEY, isn't that Terry W's trailer??? :twisted:

[Terry Wallace]

Hehehehe MOONIE!

Ya know...when I first saw the thread...I said to myself....Now WHO is sneakin' around here taking pictures of that old 1969 rusty, in need of paint... two-horse trailer we have had forever...... but NOOOOOOO !!

My four-horse would not even qualify for an "ugly" trailer contest!
its all purdy-fied!! ;-)

:lol: :lol:
Well ed, when I go shopping for horse trailers it's to the stock canvas-topped ones I go to.

[Boyd R]

Well shoot what would ya all think of mine.

[nmcreel]

I'm embarassed to say that the trailer in the photo looks exactly like the one-horse WW that I found junked in a back yard her. My Paso Fino mare, Cassidy, hated it and would take forever to load. When I bought her half paso son, Hijo, I said that I would pay the asking price if he loaded into my one horse "rolling coffin". Needless to say he did the first time and happily everytime since. I'll get a photo for you guys cause it is ugly and in poor repair.

Shoot, my first trailer was a homemade jobby. It was a pickup truck bed on a tandem axle with sort of slats for sides, and bars over it that held canvas. It had no jack, and stayed perfectly level. But it was one hard SOB to hook up because of not having a jack! I had to get mighty creative in ways to pick it up to get on the hitch ball. Pulled like a dream, too! But it was very ugly. Believe it or not, I sold it for $500 in 1972!

My only regret is that I was too kind hearted to get a picture of it. Roll out the barrel! :lol:

[motorgypsy]

I was just thinking how much that trailer looks like our WW other than the rust since we do zinc the rust spots. Our horses actually love that trailer. They put their heads in the manger and sleep during transit. It is UGLY though. I try to hide it behind some big fancy thing at nationals. I swear it's the only 2 horse bumper pull with no tack room in the entire parking lot!!!

[reuben T]

actually that one looks to be in decent shape, I've seen em a whole lot worse. the worst one I've seen looked like a pile of scrap, it was a bunch of bars and rods welded together for the top, on a junky bairly usable trailer. My current rig is a 25YO beat up 4x4 dodge truck that I've used extensivly in the woods, and a 20 ft gooseneck full of missing paint and rust spots that i got about a year an a half ago with a rusted out frame and rotten floor. I got some heavy angle iorn from the scrap yard to repair the frame and sawed black locust lumber for a floor, now it's solid as can be but still needs sandblastin and paint. someday I'll do that and then trade it in on an aluminum trailer. (by then a better truck for the road will be on the agenda)
I saw once a two horse inline trailer with axles on both ends like a hay wagon, I thought that one may be hard to pull without getting the fishtail effect, like most hay wagons will get if ya speed up too much. Weird looking trailer anyway.
Some years ago I bought a car for $150, an old subaru with a beat up body and pipe front bumper, and chopped off fenders. I got it for the good engine in it, (which I'm still using in my forklift) but it was a drivable car, so I licensed it and used it for a year. One time I was driving it through a store parking lot and someone backed into it, they got out all worried and concerned, I just laughed and said "so what! what's another dent in the door!"
I know, one can feel ashamed when driving something rough looking, I've felt the same way at times, but then again, how much money one makes has little to do with their personal worth.
But I know, wanna make a good impression.
Oh and then there's breakdown issues, those older machines need mechanics driving them. Sometimes I get tired of the FORD routene, (Fix Or Repair Daily) even though I can usually fix whatever needs fixing. I want a truck that'll go down the road a few hunnered mi. and not be concerned about what's gonna break next. and if it fails to get 75, or 150 mpg, I'd be inclined to rip out the engine and replace it with my own invention. or at least do some sneaky modifications to it and boost the mpg up to a reasonable level. Yep, I know how, but it takes more $$ than I got right now, bye, better get to work.
I've made next to nothing sence october, been building house instead, but i do believe i know how to make $100,000 in agriculture in the next 6 months, but it'll take a lotta work and careful planning. I see plainly a big hole full of cash in the middle of agriculture that most people are blind to, if i can successfully plant a business in the middle of that hole it'll go wild. The biggest symptom of the hole is poor flavoured produce, and that's caused by out of balance and insufficent minerals in the soil. I've worked on learning it for a long time, it's high time i put it to work and make it pay.
