I put my trailer in the shop on Monday, and I'll pick it up tomorrow. It was needing tires, and I asked them to check and repack the bearings. They had to replace the bearings, as well as the brake pads and magnets. I had a broken weld that needed fixed, and I asked them to move the spare tire rack under the gooseneck, and they cut a door between the dressing room and the horse area. With the brakes and bearings it comes to more than I thought, but I shouldn't need to do this again for a long time. It came to $1,400.00. The bearings had never been greased since it was new, until I bought it and added grease to each wheel.
Husband Mike comes home tomorrow. I'm picking up the trailer in the morning, after buying 2 new tires for the truck. I'll return to the farm, drop one trailer, hitch up the bumperpull, teach a riding lesson, and return to the town house to pick up Mike, drop off some stuff to freecycle, and load up whatever we can from the house.
I spent time today setting up shelves, and moving stuff around in the barn to make room for more stuff.
Our new horses are settled in. The gelding has put on some weight this week, and the mare, Lady, was not very ladylike today. We have been calling her "Dumpling", because she is so round, and sweet. Here are pictures of her as she looked today.
She is covered in mud!
