No trailer necessary!

Email from Heidi:
I saw a perfectly wonderful (not) substitute for a trailer in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Unfortunately, I forgot to save the photo.
As I was driving home from picking my daughter up from school, a Ford F250 passed me with cattle in the truck bed. It had really tall metal tubing sides and at least two cows in it. The cows didn’t look happy.

Heide sent me this email in November - I have not ignored you!!  I have been trying to find a picture that would represent what you saw.  This is the only one I could find with tall metal tubing sides and at least two cows - LOL

I'm crazy - I hope you are too

How about a 'crusty' trailer?

Cheap Crusty Old Horse Trailer - $600 (DE)
Cheap old horse trailer, a 2 horse Cotner in crusty shape. It is extra tall, 7 foot and extra wide and has extra room in the front for tack or junk. It has been sitting for a couple years and needs a few things to be perfect. One tire is leaking slowly and the ramp spring is broken so it is very heavy to put up. They have the spring at TSC though for about $25. If you can jerk this out of the 4 foot drifts it is in and pump the tires, this will travel down the road fine. It has rubber mats inside and on the ramp. It has a removeable center partition and stowable rear doors. The frame is steel so it is pretty heavy and will track good. The top is fiberglass and the jack is operatable. There are some rust spots all over and on the frame so this is by no means perfect but what can you expect for $600. This was not a cheap trailer and I have put over 300,000 miles on it easily, racing horses at every track within 200 miles of here for many years. It has never been wrecked, but I did hit a goose landing on the freeway in Pennsylvania years ago. The price is $600, not 400 or 500 so if you are not prepared for this do not waste my time. Call Mike at xxx-xxx-xxxx

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

For a cheap trailer, Mike sure wants a lot of money.  Plus he expects you to shovel it out and pump up the tire!!!!!  And with 300,000 miles on it, it probably needs new axles in addition to everything else he listed.

Thanks to Jenn

Use Rustoleum next time

Full of junk - what a surprise - NOT.  It's a shame that they used steel sheets to enclose the trailer and did not bother to paint them so that they would not rust.   When I see that, I always wonder what else they did incorrectly that will fail.  The trailer does not look too bad otherwise.
 
Thanks to Bif

I don't have time to investigate

Horse/Utility Trailer - $100(ID)
Needs tires, lights, and help to make it not so ugly.
I also noticed a few days ago when I moved it, that the left wheel/axle is not aligned correctly -- it could just be the wheel, but it could be a bigger issue with the axle. I don't have time to investigate.
Email me if you have questions.
Thanks.

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

Another project that they should either take to the scrap yard to give away - especially with an axle problem.

Helen also found this gem:

A Pumper Pull!!

4 to 6 horse trailer pumper pull - $1200 (WA)
This trailer needs some welding. It is a dark solid brown color. It is low to the gound with two axels. It is all enclosed no windows to open, just grates for air. it is not a stock trailer it was fancy in its day (70's). The horse area is 19 feet long and 5 feet 6 wide the ceiling is 84" tall.There is no manger, it is all open. i put 6 horses in slant but is has no dividers. i have a divider to put in when we put two in the front and motorcycles in the back. It has 3 escape doors and a front exit door with ramp for the horses. the ramp needs new wood. the floors are excellent and has good mats. It has a reach in full upright tack area in the front that we put 6 saddle racks in it and lots of briddle hooks. the trailer is 21 feet long and my suburban and motor home pull it fine. we take it in the mountains and on road trips it pulls nice. i can send you pics if interested. i will be fixing it up when i get my tax return and it will be for sell then for 3500.

Wow - what a mess.  That front photo looks like an abandoned railroad car.  Like Helen wrote - how appropriate that it is from a place called Old Town!

Thanks to Helen.

Some more fun projects!

Project 2 Horse Trailer - $350 (OK)
Project trailer! New floor but the area where the hay goes needs completed. Side panels need welded, no center divider. Two axles, tires flat but will air up. Bumper pull. Please call xxx-xxx-xxxx. or email me.

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

This is too funny - "tires flat but will air up"

Why do they think that posting a picture of the sheriff logo will help sell the trailer?  It also looks like they have several projects waiting to be done.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Here is another beauty!! 

Horse Trailer - $500 (KY)
I bought this trailer with the intentions of repairing it. School and work took over and the trailer has been sitting for 5 years. The wiring is new, the inside has been sanded down and rust prohibitor applied, the boards for the floor are in good shape as well. The trailer needs work. (needs doors on the back or a ramp) Please email if you are interested. Thanks!!

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

It needs a lot more than they listed.  Starting with tires..............
I guess everyone gets a project with the intentions of finishing it.  Sadly, few ever do.  It just gets passed to the next ambitious person.
 
Both of these lovely trailers were sent in by Bif - thanks!

Buggy display

A cute buggy.  You know it has been kept indoors for part of its life!!  LOL

I do wonder at the story behind it - who decided to put it in the store?  Where is it now?  Is it restored or just painted over to hide any problems?

Thanks to Bif

I'm a lousy photographer

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

These are some of the worst quality photos I have seen - what color setting did they have the camera on?  And why do people always post sideways pictures?  This could actually be a nice trailer, but the pictures make it look terrible.

Thanks to Helen
