2019/02/26

I have a nice little Kingston bumper pull. I don’t need a new trailer, but whenever I’m at a big horse expo, I find myself inexplicably drawn to the trailer area like a moth to a flame. Last fall, in Massachusetts, I discovered a new line of all-in-one horse trailers from Equi-Trek called the Vision. The urge to hop in and drive away with it was overwhelming! Since I couldn’t do that, I invited Lynn Roberge from L and D trailers to come on the show this week and tell us all about these super cool

Making everyday barn chores easier first requires making them simpler. Take watering for example. Filling buckets lined up in stalls each morning and evening is essential, no matter where you keep your horses.

In my search for simple products that solve these kinds of problems, I found one called Drinking Post
