Save your Trailer - Storage tips

From the USRider website:
USRider Offers Tips for Trailer Storage Preparation

With the cold and harsh weather of recent winters, more and more horse owners are recognizing the value of protecting their investment and winterizing their horse trailers.
When putting trailers up for the season, it’s important for horse owners to take time to do some preventive maintenance. USRider, the national provider of roadside emergency assistance for horse owners, reminds equestrians that preventive trailer maintenance in important not only in case an emergency arises but also to ensure that their trailers will be in optimal shape for the upcoming riding season.
“Your trailer has safely transported your four-legged friends all season, don't just unhook from the trailer and neglect it during the off-season, or when it is not going to be used for a significant time,” Cole added. “Trailers represent a significant investment and carry precious cargo and should be well maintained – even when not in use – to ensure performance and longevity.”
A recent research project co-sponsored by USRider illustrated the importance of maintaining horse trailers. “The data showed that a leading cause of trailer wrecks is lack of proper maintenance,” said Cole.
With input from Neva Kittrell Scheve, an equine travel expert, USRider maintains a Trailering and Equine Travel Safety Area on its website at www.usrider.org.
 
The posted horse trailer preparation tips include:

• Remove the emergency breakaway battery and store inside, out of the weather. Charge the battery at least every 90 days.
• Jack up the trailer and place jack stands under the trailer frame so that the weight will be off the tires. Follow trailer manufacturer's guidelines to lift and support the unit. Never jack up or place jack stands on the axle tube or on the equalizers.
• Lubricate mechanical moving parts, such as the hitch and suspension parts that are exposed to the weather.  Note: On oil-lubricated hubs, the upper part on each roller bearing is not immersed in oil and is subjected to potential corrosion. For maximum bearing life it is recommended that you revolve the wheels periodically (every 2 to 3 weeks) during periods of prolonged storage.
• In addition to these recommendations, USRider advises horse owners to store the trailer inside, out of the elements if possible. If inside storage is not available, consider purchasing a cover for your trailer. Also, if storing the trailer outside, cover its tires. Tire covers are available through trailer dealers and RV dealers. (Be sure to note the size of your tires when purchasing covers.)
• When preparing a horse trailer for off-season storage, it’s a good time to take stock of the trailer –evaluate the tires, breakaway battery, and overall condition. Then make a list of equipment and any repairs that are needed. Moreover, go ahead and schedule those repairs and other upgrades to be performed to beat the rush and be ready for next season.
• Be sure to oil or grease the trailer’s moving parts, such as hinges and jack stands. It is also important to wash and clean your trailer’s interior and exterior thoroughly, and wax its painted surfaces before storing it. This will help maintain the exterior surfaces. Prior to cleaning interior, remove any floor mats.

Crazy or smart?

I have a VERY nice trailer that I have decided to rent out this winter due to me not needing it much over the next several months. This trailer is loaded and would be perfect for anyone needing a trailer for the next few months. The bidding amount is for a monthly payment due to me on the first of each month. Please be aware that the first two months will be due to me upon picking up the trailer. So if you bid the initial $500 you are agreeing to pay that amount at the beginning of each month. THIS IS NOT FOR SELLING THE TRAILER. This is the perfect situation for anyone who may need a trailer but is not in the postion to buy one at this time. This is a $45,000 trailer. This is a 2008 Circle J Living Quarters horse trailer with a slide out to give you tons of room on the inside. This trailer comes with a full bathroom, fridge, freezer, stove, microwave, flat screen TV, stereo system and 2 sinks as well. This trailer is a 3 horse slant but I have removed the dividers in order to be able to haul 4 horses. This trailer is located in Minnesota right now. Winning bidder will either be responsible for the picking up the trailer or I will deliver it if the winning bidder agrees to pay for fuel to deliver it to you. Winning bidder will also be required to put up a security deposit of $500.00. I will need the trailer back in approximately 6 months. If you need a trailer for that period of time, please feel free to bid. Please only bid on this if you are serious and also a responsible person who will take care of this trailer as if it were your own. I will also email additional pictures to you as well. Happy Bidding. Please email me with any questions...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 
If I had one, I would not rent out my expensive LQ trailer - ever.

I saw this on eBay.  There were 10 bids total and the winner will be paying $2,650 per month to rent it!!  At $88/day that is a good deal if you are going to use it extensively - cheaper than a hotel.  The owner will be pocketing $15,900.  Unless it comes back wrecked and takes that much (or more) to put it back in good condition again...  :-(

Happy Thanksgiving!

Let's see - how can I tie together mobile horses with the Thanksgiving holiday??????


How about the Trojan Horse - part of the 10 year Trojan war that was fought in TURKEY!!  And almost always shown on wheels!

Nice paint job (if you just ignore the overspray on the inside of the door) - unfortunately the smooth, shiny paint finish exaggerates every flaw making the trailer look like it has been in an accident.

The barn style instant portable garage everyone has been asking for!

This is a good looking storage shed, boat, RV or camper enclosure. At twenty eight feet long, there's plenty of room for all your toys!

2 horse trailer - $950 (NC)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Retento's sharp eye caught the use of an actual floor jack on the front of this trailer!  Redneck engineering at its finest - LOL

Thanks to Retento.

Minor!!??!!

HorseTrailer - $750 (NC)
Two horse tag-a-long horse trailer

Needs minor repairs
No title

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To me, a minor repair is something along the lines of replacing a broken lens or touch up paint.  Not totally painting the trailer after all the rust is taken care of, putting in windows, and adding a decent jack!

Thanks to Retento

I got bit!

Tennessee Walker - $999 (TX)
Schooner is a 4 year old Tennessee Walker gelding. He is naturally gaited; he often gaits in the pasture. He will do the running walk that Tennesse Walkers are known for, and he also likes to pace. He loads and rides very well in a horse trailer, has good ground manners, is up to date on shots and coggins, stands for the farrier and currently has all 4 shoes.
I bought Schooner as a green broke 2 year old a couple of years ago. He was hugely under weight. I spent the first 6 months fattening him up. Then I rode him for 6 months. He was doing great. He would walk slowly behind my Quarter horse without protest or he would happily move out in front. We rode on rocky terrain, in woods, across creeks, and on the road. Incidentally, he loves blacktop and will gait right along.
Then, while crossing a grassy field, he got stung in a rather personal spot. He was terrified and I got hurt. We both lost our confidence. He is a bit spooky now. Unfortunately, I am nervous which makes him more nervous. He has great potential. But I have accepted that I can no longer train him. He needs an experienced rider. I am asking $999 or will take the best offer.

Poor boy!   He looks well fed though.....

An even bigger bumperpull

Kingston 4 horse trailer - $2700 (NH)
Kingston four horse tag-a-long (bumper pull) trailer. 1976, triple axle, loaded weight around 10,000lbs. Has carpeted dressing room and tack compartment with saddle rack. (Room for 8 saddles.) Seven new tires in 2007. New brakes 2007. New pressure treated floor 2005. Painted 2005. Wiring checked and fixed in 2007. Put up on lift in 2007 to check frame, found good. Wheel bearings checked and repacked in 2007. Front two horses have mangers, back two TB style. Stud doors between. Head dividers all around. Dividers between horses are half, and are removable. Four escape doors. Fully matted. Plenty of ventilation. Ramp hinge needs welding, but trailer is in usable shape. Does have some rust and rot in exterior sheet metal here and there and is missing some interior padding. Has weight distributing hitch brackets and sway bar attachment. This is a sturdy, heavy, well-built trailer. They don't make them like this anymore. If you want to tow with a Suburban or van, or have a camper, this is a great alternative to a goose neck. Pulls like a dream with my 3/4 ton Suburban, never an issue with sway. Will hold 100 bags of shavings or 100 or so bales of hay. More pictures available.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Better check the towing capacity/tongue weight.  Maybe this can be the second trailer for the one listed yesterday!!  LOL
