The trailer and Fort Wayne Show...

Hey we have wheels... More specfically a trailer! We were able to purchase a horse trailer and conver the in side to open it up for alpacas. We can only firt 3 to 4 in at one time but this should work out pretty well for us for now. It is better than no trailer at all. Especially considering our show next week and then the trips we have to make to pick up our new animals later this spring.


So this is our new trailer from the side. It has the ability to be fully closed up. Storage in the front and on the side. Newer wood floors and was recently sandblasted and painted. The green and white fits our color scheme perfectly.

Converting the trailer for alpacas from horses only took about 1 to 1.5 hours. This was somewhat by luck but also longer than others may take. The center divider was not removable and so it had to be removed by force. I was able to either remove or cut all the screws and bolts holding it in. I also was able to use a hacksaw to remove many metal left over parts. The main board was wood and a jig saw made short work of it. We used a pad that was there from before to cover the support post at the doors cleaned it up and have already used it.

Anyway, I hope to see and meet others at the show in Fort Wayne next week but figure it will be smaller since Nationals is in Fort Wayne in another month and a half and shows have been hit hard by the economy anyway.
