For years I carried my 4-wheel in the back of my pickup. I always hung =
my harnesses. The saddle racks (if you have them) make wonderful =
harness hangers. Mine had one that could be hooked onto the dressing =
room door, so that when it was open, my harnesses were very handy. I =
also have used one of those hangers that have four hangers facing front =
and two facing back which can be hung either on a window or maybe a slat =
on the stock trailer. Mine could be hung on two conveniently placed =
hooks inside the dressing room on a wall. I don't particularly like =
packing harnesses into containers. If I pack them, I carry them in =
cloth harness bags with a drawstring at one end. You can also make them =
out of cheap, old pillow slips, if you don't sew. =20
Stephanie, how wide and long is your stock trailer? Are you taking the =
pole assembly off the carriage to load it in the trailer? Or maybe =
just take off the pole. Would that help? I have an aluminum, =
telescoping pole. I'd take it off the carriage when it rode in the =
pickup. After waiting 15 years, I bit the bullet and got a 25 foot =
trailer, but still take off the pole to have more room. If I take of =
the whole pole assembly, I'd have more room, still. It's just very =
heavy and too much trouble. I usually do everything myself. It helps =
if you have a built-in helper... :-) =20
Hope this helps and that you can understand some of my explanations.
Helen
In her head is the distant memory
of sandstorms surging through the wilderness,
Yet, gentle as a fawn, she follows close at my shoulder,
She is the fabric of my dreams-----my Arabian mare.
