Hi Helen,
I had some questions about your trailer. Could you explain how you have
the plexiglass in your trailer and what kind of winch and how did you have
it installed. What power source does it run off of? I would like to have
both of these items in my 16 ft. stock trailer.
Also I met someone in Vermont who found a gentleman who customized stock
trailer living quarter areas. Hers was completely bare and she had stove,
frig, bed and shower/ toilet put in for about $7000.

> 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?
