You have a horsey family don’t you? Most people who have those have more than one horsey person in their family. We only have a two horse straight loader though I’d love a float like yours.

Yes, well, I mainly ride in comps. Mum rides too. Dad and little sis don't ride much. I do alot of comps so, yeah.

Yeah I don’t come from a super horsey family (my mum used to have a horse when she was a kid but that’s about it) I’m trying to get myself a brumby so I can break one in

Ooh! Sounds like a fun project!

I love those big beautiful trailers but our island is small and roads are thin so they don't make a lot of sense for DH and I. Also hot here so open trailers seem more polite. I do want a canvas top for it though and we put masks on the boys when we travel.
It would be amazing if you could talk your mom into letting you get a Brumby. What a great adventure. The Brumby's are gorgeous from what I have seen on documentary's.

The Brumbies are on the verge of being slaughtered. There is a huge court case and I made a video about them and my mum shared it on her page and now people are seeing it

Yeah. Our trailer is fully enclosed with a kitchen at the front, and it is an angle loader. The dividers fold out to be bunk beds. Its the perfect trailer for a over-night comp

The dividers fold out to be bunk beds? Do you mean the dividers in the horse area? I've never seen or heard of that, but it sounds awesome. Can you post a picture of how they work?
Mine has a room in front that's separate and watertight, but unfortunately it's too small to sleep in. So I usually hang a hammock in the horse area (super comfy) and put up an awning outside with some folding tables and chairs.

We have an awning on ours too. And a tack space out the front. What brand of float do you have?

 

[littledog]

Mine's a Merhow (made by Trailet) which might not be a brand you have in Australia. It's 80" tall, to accommodate tall horses like Warmbloods or Draughts. It has a small tack room up front, which has a separate locking door and is insulated and waterproof, but it's only about 4' by 5'. Plenty of room for all the tack as well as whatever supplies I need to camp at clinics or events, but not big enough to sleep in.
The horse area is set up as a two-horse straight load, with extra room in front of the stalls to transport bales of hay and straw or whatever. All the dividers can be removed though, to make it a two-horse slant, if you give up the bale storage in front.
It doesn't have a built-in awning, I just bring along my camping-type awning to set up.
Back in the day when I was competing in lots of Events, I would bring a tent and camp in the approved area. Now, my old back can't take sleeping on the ground, so hanging my hammock in the horse part of the trailer (after I clean out the manure, of course) is the most comfortable and restful way to go for me.

Cool. We have an imperial float (not sure if you have them either), there is like a storage (tack) compartment at the front and a rug rack up the top of the float that locks so nothing falls out and hits your horse on the head while your driving. There are also clip in feed bags
