Was reading a post about farrier work.
Made me Remember Jay.
LA Justifiable.
Had him for awhile & he would fall asleep for the farrier.
Thing is, when he fell asleep he would literally just fall over.
Every night he would wait for me to say good night, literally, then a few minutes later you could here the plop as he hit the ground, flat on his side, legs out straight.
He would do it with a farrier too if I didn't keep him awake.
It's why I paid Hendrickson brothers to do him.
Can't do a horse like that solo ey.
Great horse, beautiful nature, loved going out for a ride, could Tie him for hours on end.
Only ever bucked under me once, when the back cinch slipped back and became a flank cinch.
Cinch tie came loose. So I rode it out &;went another couple of miles then got off to find out why & fix it.

I was told by someone they needed to borrow a float,
My response " you can not use mine"

I bought an extended height, extended length float.
When I brought it down from NSW it was initially damaged in my driveway, first night.
They slashed the padding in it.
Then I took that float out to my horses paddock to get them used to the smell & to encourage the foal to enter without force.
It got taken & they left a standard pony size float that looked the same to anyone who didn't know.
I used it the first time to move my stallion.
We got 25 KMs down the highway & had to stop.
The front facia literally fell apart.
Poor stallion was panicked.
Then I took the float out to a bloke who does float repairs.
He got my original float back.

They repaired the pads, replaced the tailgate wood & rubber, changed the lights & made sure it was safe.
After I paid him we used it to move some horses & I brought it home. Called the company & ordered the stallion divider & new roof for extended length.
That was just a waste of time.
The people took it again, swapped it back for the smaller one with ripped padding, old tailgate & the clearance lights are red & orange, not white that is legal. . ...

So, now,
When i see a float that looks the exact same as the one I paid for advertised, except it's had a paint up, I think about what these people put my horses through & seriously,,,,,
They are lucky I am so good with anger management.
Coz if I wasn't things would get very violent.

They are Olympic Floats.

One had a fixed coupling, one had a bolt on coupling.
One had slight surface rust in rear wall, the other had a rusty hole is same place.

Mine being in NSW, had new floor 2 years old, new bearings, new tyres, new rubber mat in front storage area, & was deemed safe under a pink slip for registration.

It's the reason why I travelled so far to buy it.
Extended, new interior & safe.
