| "It's not the trailer you pull with, it's the horse you pull out of the trailer" and all that jazz.
Don't worry about what other people have. Honestly, I think you'll find the bumper pull to be pretty low hassle and convenient. |

Location: Oklahoma & Texas | I pulled a bumper pull with my half ton Chevy to my college rodeos..no one said anything and half the kids had same as me ...most of us pooled together anyway to split gas/diesel...no one laughs either when you are winning or the one not having to struggle to make a trailer/truck pmt for those rigs either...it was worth it too because I graduated and now have my big rig :) keep your chin up !! |
|

|
| I pulled a rusted stock/combo trailer that said "Character Builder" on the side in hot pink because my Mom thought that I needed a constant reminder of the important things in life. I would always try to park close to the big rigs because those trailers had exterior lights and if I parked just right I could use their lights to help me see to unsaddle my horse.

We ran cows and had to have a stock trailer and my daughters understood that. Didn't stop them from winning.

HAHA love this!!! Your mom and my mom would get along well! I remember as a kid the first really fancy rig I saw at a barrel race. Will never forget it. I was probably 15 and this black crew cab Chevy pulled in with a black and aluminum trailer both with matching turquoise graphics. I was like WOWWWWWWWWWWWW and so was everyone else. Then when they stepped out and we realized who it was my mom turned to me and said, "too bad they don't have anything decent to put in it," and we turned around and walked back to our jeep cherokee and rusted out one horse. Well spoken and something i'll never forget! |

| Oh college rodeos... Like another poster said, most of those people pulling the fancy rigs aren't as concerned with you as you might think. They're wrapped up in their own fantasy. You take pride in what you have and them think whatever they want.
I made some life long friends "carpooling" to rodeos. Whoever had the bigger rig (i.e. most room for horses, usually a stock trailer), we'd use and split gas/diesel to get to the rodeo. We all had good horses and placed frequently, and I don't remember one time being asked what kind of trailer I had after pulling a check. |

Location: North Dakota | I never had a trailer at college, Dad delivered me and horse and the only time we went anywhere was on our own feet or with the rig from the college. We did bum rides occassionally but I would have been thrilled to have my own rig no matter how it looked. Doesn't make me a winner or a loser however, it does make me satisfied with the little things in life.......trust me things could always be worse than having to pull a *gasp* bumper pull trailer.....yes I'm being sarcastic. These are the things you will talk about in 20, 30 years-they build character one way or another. |

| A lot of students live in their living quarters at school rather than paying to rent an apartment. They can fix their own food and pay a good size note with what it would take to pay for an apartment. Also, Texas is a big place and a long way to most rodeos. Many spend the night in their trailer rather than getting a motel room. LQ trailers can actually save you money. If you have a bumper pull I am sure that you will not be the only person with one, but when you drive 8 to 10 hours to get to a rodeo, I am sure that you will probably stay over night before driving back. |

It took me until I was 45 years old to get one and I worked hard to pay for it. If he wanted to pull one to college rodeos he was more than welcome to see if he could get financed to purchase one on his own. Otherwise he was more than welcome to take the bumper pull. Needless to say, he took the bumper pull and was happy to have it! |

| I started in a 2 horse inline bumper pull when I was away at college. Sold it and moved to a 3 horse aluminum bp. Worked out a deal and upgraded to an older 4 horse hart. LOVED that trailer. But we needed a down payment for our house and land so I sold the trailer. Trust me I was SAD. I told my husband that I would have another aluminum trailer again. I have been pulling a SMURF blue 2 horse bp Calico. Best dang trailer I have ever had. I LOVE that little thing. Ive stayed in it for weekend shows. Takes some ingenuity but it works. Yesterday he surprised me by telling me he has bought us a 3 horse CM. Said he found it for cheap. Im most excited about having a rear tack!!!!
Don't let not having a 50k trailer get you down. Atleast you don't have a note :) That's what I kept telling myself about smurfy. Its paid off and pulls like a dream. Plus I can whip that little trailer in anywhere. |

Right there with ya!
My trailer was free for a reason, some welding hours, tires, packed bearings, replaced floor, more welding, duct tape and of course more duct tape add in a few random pieces of wire and one freezing night spent underneath it completely rewiring it and we are (somewhat) road worthy!
Do I get looks when I roll up to a college rodeo practice with my free trailer old pickup and $9 dollar horse? Yes but I'm just glad to be there learning and experiencing |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | I think every college girl who rodeos should have their daddies buy them a trailer with a LQ. It's a good investment. If your daddy can't afford a LQ trailer, then get a loan at 9.9% interest. It's an investment in your future. If you can't get a loan and your daddy won't buy be for you, then you probably have no business going to college. |

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | I was one of those college kids with a big-ass LQ trailer. First off, they were cheaper back then. Second, I went to a 4 year university where I had a full ride scholarship and it was close enough that I kept my horses at home. My PARENTS (mainly my mom) hauled my butt everywhere I went and that trailer was actually for their comfort. They didn't trust me to behave...go figure.  When I graduated college, I sold my car, bought the trailer from them with payments that included 5% interest, which was nice of them considering a bank loan would have been 7.5%, and then traded it for something smaller that I could pull with my 3/4 ton work truck.
I was too busy with my own life to care about what anyone else was pulling, but some of the guys at school teased the crap out of me. LOL |

But since I live in the real world, I am happy that my horses are in a safe and sound 2 horse BP. They get to barrel races just the same as all the other horses and I don't have a nagging payment to make each month.
The size of your trailer does NOT reflect your hard work. |

| In response to Bears comment. This make no sense what so ever. You don't need a fancy trailer to college rodeo. And just because you don't have one, can't get one our your daddy won't get you one, doesn't mean you shouldn't go to college. I'm on my college rodeo team, and my school and lots of others take huge stock trailers. I've seen lots of bumper pulls as well. It doesn't matter at all.

Location: Bastrop, Texas | If you don't have enough money to buy nice things for you and your horse, then you have no business rodeoing. That includes a nice trailer. Parents who neglect their children and don't provide them with a decent LQ trailer are setting a bad example.
The good news is I'm sure there is a financial aid package available so a person can get a decent new LQ trailer for rodeoing. That's not asking too much. College is stressful enough as it is. No child should have to worry about the basic necessities. |

Location: North MS | I'm somewhat on the opposite end of the spectrum- I believe I have decent horses. Started with a bumper pull livestock trailer of my grandfathers and then after I got married the hubby and I saved up for my first trailer. 3H slant, steel with dressing room I added electric and insulation to. Later he got a side job (AC Work- big install) and we were able to sell my trailer and I found a great deal on my DREAM trailer. 4H, mangers, 8ft. shortwall and LOVELY living quarters. It needed a few things fixed and I still need to do a few more tiny things but it looks like I have an awesome trailer. Then I pull up and unload my decent horses. So I guess I'm getting mocked from the opposite side. But I like to have fun about everyone else. I lost my good horse- so everyone just roll up to the barrel races in what you have and can afford to haul, ride what you can afford to ride and LOVE, and do your best to enjoy the opportunity. Just wish I still had the opportunity to keep running the one I lost. It is NOT what you roll up in and ride on. It is how hard the BOTH of you try and the effort you put into it. |

This makes me sad :( i pulled a very safe 2 horse bumper pull for many years. My horses were happy and had the best care. I won many buckles/titles/saddles. If it wasnt for the reliable 2 horse i would have never been able to. I slept in the bed of the truck after i tucked the horses in.
It was actually very nice. I had the time of my life. To say i shouldnt be rodeoing because i couldnt afford a trailer i could pee in i feel is very small minded. .........i mean people used to pull trailers with cars with no tops..
Wanted to add i have a friend who does professional ranch rodeo and just sold her LQ trailer because she was tired of making payments and bought a stock trailer.

They will miss out on the bonding opportunities that you can only get from telling stories about the crappy, rusted-out 2 horse starter-trailer you had when you were that age.

June Holeman made the finals pulling a bumper pull, pulled by an old ambulance.
I seen her a couple weeks ago with a bumper pull and a truck camper.
Its a race against the clock...
That's because she got a big fine in San Antonio (I think) for driving an ambulance. Supposedly you can't drive one of those unless you are a medical professional....even if it's old and redone. That's the story I heard anyway.....so she went to the truck and camper. |

Thats about right, in a city with about 30% of the population in the U.S. illegally, she gets a fine for driving an old ambulance. |

I kid you not, there was a friend of my brother's that would put his horse in the back of his pick up truck and haul him to pen cattle........not tied to anything.....he'd jump up on the tailgate and just stand in the bed of that truck.
oh, I've seen it done a many times. Our neighbor put racks up and hauled his two horses in the back of his truck. Down the interstate and all. He'd back up to a hill and load and unload... |

And get 3 mpg pulling.. might as well pay for a new LQ with the money you would burn in fuel. |

I seen her a couple weeks ago with a bumper pull and a truck camper. Its a race against the clock... That's because she got a big fine in San Antonio (I think ) for driving an ambulance. Supposedly you can't drive one of those unless you are a medical professional....even if it's old and redone. That's the story I heard anyway.....so she went to the truck and camper.
What a crazy time we live in. |

I youth rodeo'ed with a couple gals whose dad had redone an old school bus and they hauled the horses in the back. Loaded and unloaded thru the emergency exit door on a ramp. It worked fine. They were pretty handy girls with decent horses that won their share. |
