| Yeah, uh so...I'm driving through old ranch property near Benson Az and the day was glorious. Sunflowers blooming along the freeway, white fluffy clouds floating in a cobalt blue sky. We've had so much rain this year that it's a jungle out there. And sitting among a bed of weeds was this. A 1955 horse trailer. A old weathered cardboard sign that said;
"Kelly. Take me home and save me."
So I pulled over and the kid was more than happy to have this taken off his hands...
My husband may never speak to me again....
"What? You can fix anything, Ty. Why are you looking at me like that?"
"It NEEDS you."
"No, I don't want a divorce! No, I only paid two hundred for it."
"I don't think it used to haul dinosaurs but that is an awfully big shit petrified in the back..."
"Ty...Ty... honey...don't walk out on me...."
Stay tuned to see what happens next....My divorce or a magical restoration of this really crappy trailer.  |

| Some people rescue horses...I like to torture "Mr Fix It" with shitty trailers and numerous children. |

I was just surprised it made it back to Marana from Benson. I kept looking in the rear view mirror to see if parts of it weren't falling along the road... |

| My teenager in the back sunk in the back seat. "Mom, what if my friends see me?"
"Oh don't worry, the whole town knows your mother is nuts."
NICE |

Location: Oregon | Looks like the first trailer I had - and had to make payments on - LOL But - I'm in Oregon so imagine it with a ton of rust !
Maybe you could start a new trend with refurbishing old horse trailers - like the old travel trailer refurbishing trend!

There's this one guy who loads his horse in a landscape trailer and the sides are wooden fencing. I'm always scared to death when I see him heading for the wed night ropings. |
