Horse Trailer Repair/Reconditioning
Beschermde donatie
First off, thanks for stopping by!
This is a collaboration project to help YouTube Personality "WTFarm Girl" repair her newly-purchased horse trailer. The trailer is a 1997 aluminum gooseneck 4-horse slant load trailer with partial living quarters with significant damage to the front end that she purchased at auction.
After she got home, her finace announced that not only would she have to pay him back for the purchase of the trailer, but she would also be responsible for paying for any repairs needed.
She faced a choice. Re-sell the trailer as is and re-coup her losses, or buckle down and get the work done herself with the financial help of her friends and show her YouTube audience that with a bit of dertermination and hard work, you can "Get 'er Done"!
------------------------------------------------
A horse trailer will allow WTFarm Girl to take her horses to the vet, to the trainer, on trips across the country to visit fans or just out with the neighbors on local rides.
For Farm Girl, a horse trailers means a VACATION. While she does have trails out back to ride on, it's hard to justify saddling up the horse for a few hours of riding around her farm when work is staring her in the face! Sometimes you just gotta "get-away" for a bit!
Despite the major damage on the front end, the rest of the trailer is pretty much ready to go!
Please consider contributing to this project. Watch the linked video for a brief overview of the trailer damage, and if you are not subscribed already, consider subscribing to stay up-to-date on what's happening with the trailer!

Money provided with ONLY go to trailer repairs and needed accessories (such as saddle racks).
We plan to do as much of the work our self as possible, but will consider outsourcing the frame work depending on the quoted cost :)
After the trailer repair shop examined the damage, I ahve lowered the amount to be raised to only $2000. This includes all metal pieces needed, additional welding supplies, bolts, rivets caulk and materials to re-cover the inside partially.
It does NOT include the cost of a new TIG welder if it's needed. If a Tig welder is needed, we will look at outsourcing that to the repair shop.
ANYONE donating at least $1 will have their name etched into a chunk of the destroyed metal that will be turned into art to hang in the trailer's cabin area!
If only HALF my subs donated $1, then this project would be FULLY FUNDED!
We plan to have the trailer stitched back together before August, and hopefully the interior completed by fall.
I am grateful for ALL your help and ADVICE!
(Just remember that since people have conflicting advice, sometimes we must select what we think to be the most applicable to the situation!)
