Hi Everyone
Well our 1st trip with my brand new Cherokee Tomahawk 4H went off without a hitch. We loaded up on Tuesday last week and took to the road at 4am on Wednsday morning for our 1st journey. It took us through the Transkei, via the Wild Coast through some really swisty and mountanous areas, and my new trailer behaved itself extreamly well.... it was an absolute pleasure and the horses were happy and ever in their new mode of transport. I had just done the weekender LQ so everything was new to us - it was so exciting using all our new kitt for the 1st time. I was very impressed at how well the trailer behaved ...this was truelly a test of note - the roads are not of the best and are rather narrow... but it took everything in its stride.
We were the centre of attraction at the Polocrosse tournament as this is a one of a kind in South Africa - (I am sure there will be more in the not so distant future)
The tournament went well, our team endid up 4th overall - and this being the South African Club Championships we were very pleased.. (although we would have liked to win - but we tried our best - and next year we will be better)
I would like to express my sincere thanks to Dave McAdoo of Tobruk trailers in TN once again, for making everything possable. He really went well beyond the call of duty to get this trailer to SA.
Attacher are some pics of our rig and the weekend.

So glad you're enjoying your trailer. I see you had 4 horses with you. A string of Polo Ponies, or as John Cleese (Monty Python's Flying Circus) would say . . . A string of PoLOPonies!

Hey, bet you were the hit of the meet!
We use a similiar set up with a hot wire pen when we horse camp a lot of times, your set up looks like you could have been right here in the USA on one of our rides!
Glad it is working out so well for you, and it is PURTY too. (southern usa colloquialism)
