Since then Allyssia has been hauling her fathers 3 horse slant load trailer with the truck. The trailer that he has is by no means a bad trailer, but for Allyssia and her large warm blood and draft cross horses she could never haul two horses to the show at once. Allyssia has always been looking but the pickings are slim as they say because her dream trailer is a very versatile trailer and people don't often sell them.
Cue me doing my nightly craigslist search and stumbling across her dream trailer at a decent price and within a reasonable distance. It almost seemed to good to be true, but none the less we drove to Gray to look. I was expecting a jelly doughnut trailer, nice on the outside but rusty and ready to fall apart elsewhere, but I was happily mistaken. The trailer, which is a 2000 sundowner value lite two plus one straight load has to be the cleanest trailer that I have seen that wasn't new.
It is longer than the old trailer but Allyssia has adapted to it quick and has already made two trips to Wilton to ride in an indoor with one of her horses. With very little practice she does amazing driving the trailer and backing up. We couldn't be happier with the trailer and we intend to get lots of use out of it over the years. It will be used as not only a horse trailer but it will also haul four wheelers and possibly a few tractors and the gooseneck and dressing room will serve as our camper.
The best part though? It looks amazing behind my old truck!!!!
