TowRig.com - Diesel Discussion and Tow Tech

Anyone else use their towrig to haul the original 4WD horsepower??

I mean horses... anyone else here ride horses?

I trail and rodeo and in my past life rode performance and 4-H horses.

I have towed a horse before, he was kicking the whole time, seems he doesn't like being in a trailer, I was going real slow also as not to piss him off but that didn't seem to matter.

used to have some horses when i was a kid...probly get a cpl when my son gets a lil older

horses are a pain in the a$$

only if you are standing behind them to get kicked, LOL

Well, what can I say... I try

we show arabian's all over from TX to NC to FL and all in between. and manage 2 - 3 shows a year:doah:

I also pull slack for the trainer that has our horses we have a 4 horse sooner the trainer lets me pull his 6 horse sundowner (B/C he doesn't like to load his ford that much; he has put two trannys in it in 175k miles):pimp:

I love CTD:pimp: :cool:

Awesome, I used to show waaaaaay up here in Region V.

kool

we are looking to goto Canadian Nationals also

I am learning to love the arabians I grew up in the BIG A and rode King bred horses at home punching cattle
the arabs are a little more flighty at time than the 1/4's but I am coming around to them.

"Pretty is as pretty does, but pretty does a lot!":cool:

i dont like horses, also i have controll issues so riding on an animal freakes me out...

See now, I have control issues and riding on an atv gives me the vapors, lol. I guess at least with horses there is another mind to negotiate with as opposed to an inanimate piece of machinery that only obeys the laws of physics. waytogo

im not a horse fan. i would own one, and treat it well... but it would never get ridden. i towed 2 retired race horses and a pony from San Diego to Alb NM in 18 hours... they were happy to be out when we got there...

yea i kinda agree but on an atv you can go as slow as you want and stop whenever

My wife rides horses, but she doesn't drive, so I get to/have to tow them for her when she needs to. It is not too bad, except for waiting for them to load.

A friend once told me, "There really is no comparing a 4 wheeler to a horse. A horse does not run out of gas or get a flat tire, or throw a rod and leave you stranded."

I countered with, "But it could get injured, or toss you off or anything else."

I was never convinced one was better than the other, except, I have never had to beg a 4 wheeler to get in the trailer.

Looks like we are going to TX and KY and to Canadian Nationals!!!!!!waytogo :popcorn: :confused: :confused:

OH no there goes my summer and my money$$$$$$$$

But my wifeee is happy and that is all that matters!!

Hauling livestock is a little different than dead loads. Horses need H2O and should only be on a trailer for no more than 12 hrs +- max.

Also, for commercial haulers there are laws about getting them out and moving them (either leading or turning loose).

Yep!

I have 2 horses, I pull them with a WW 4 Horse Stock Gooseneck.

We had a problem horse had to transport her twice, pitching a fit, and had to get ride of her due t oour bad neighbors who cant mind there own or stay on their own side of the fence.

bummer! that just sucks!
