[drivingpairs] Clever Noel

Noel, you are so clever.   Yes, let's hear it from those who have found the 
solution to carrying their horses AND carriages...with or without living 
quarters.  
I'll start!   I bought a 25 foot aluminum stock trailer with an extra slotted 
opening,  low enough for ponies.    The openings have removable Plexiglas.   I 
have a ramp that folds down/up over the big swing-open door(which also has a 
walk in door).    I had a removable winch installed at the end for when I have 
no one here to help me load my carriage.

The wall between the dressing room and the trailer isn't slanted.  I had it 
made straight across.   The trailer came with four saddle racks which I had 
installed side by side so I can hang pair harnesses.   The dressing room has a 
screen door like a camper, and I have a two step Rubbermaid little bench.   
When I park, I pull the bench out and put it in front of the door so I can 
climb into the dressing room easily....great for old ladies like me!   The 
whole dressing room is carpeted and paneled, so I bought a sheet of plastic 
runner cross the floor, to keep it somewhat clean. 

My purpose in buying such a huge trailer is so eventually I can move the wall 
farther back into the trailer and modify the front part with some type of 
living quarters.   It think it's cheaper than going out and buying one that is 
turn-key.   Only MHO, though.    I live in North Texas and the WW manufacturing 
plant is about 30 minutes away from me in OK, so I drove up there to make sure 
I got exactly what I wanted.   Normally, you cannot buy directly from the 
factory, but the dealer was nice enough to make the appointment for me.   

Of course, the big trailer needs a big truck to pull it.   So I am now the 
proud owner of a huge monthly payment for my 1 ton Dodge, dually.   I love my 
dually every day of the  month, except the day a make the payment!    Next?
Helen
