Picking it up soon at the new factory in West Cactus Root, Oklahoma. Got to get my rear window repaired before I head up there; darn that short bed truck and long gooseneck on the old wagon.Roll On!

You should of waited until next year, I found out they are coming out with an indoor arena option, but you will have to give up the basement option.

  It must be the heat making us stay indoors and be silly.....BUT...ours has a sauna and a hot tub!  It was an "option" in our 2005 4 Star - in the slide-out.

Yes please inquire about teleport option. I hear it's suppose to be available in the 2013 model. This would be a fantastic option for those long hauls.

BlueMoon is planning a big announcement at the Santa Fe Equine Cotillion & Prairie Possum Trot in September. Darnell "Tater" Jenkins, the new owner, told the marketing guys to keep it under the saddle blanket until just before the Cotillion & Trot. He'll explode on the marketing guys when he finds out the the word is getting out early about the newest engineering . . . They don't even have the patents filed on some of them yet and Tater is afraid all those other companies will try to copy them.Roll on!

Will anyone be getting the horse bubble wrap option? That would be nice for me, as I hate those pesky Vet Calls.

Don't tell anyone but I did get some there interesting info about one of the 2013 BlueMoons today: do you know people that like to tell everyone they are "in to horses," buy lots of stuff like trucks, saddles, boots, etc. etc. but never seem to ever ride one of their horses? never really use the truck or trailer or saddle or that new bridle? BlueMoon is going to make a special flooring that looks like two day old trailer shavings but is really just a durable plastic. It will look like horses actually traveled in the trailer but will never need cleaning and will never corrode the shiny new interior of the trailer. BRILLIANT! I think they'll sell a million of 'em. Roll On!

I believe that installed option would also require you to maintain a liquor license. But I can think of a few trail ride destinations where you'd be quite popular.

BigT, I'll look around to see if I have any but I'm not optimistic that I have any. Doesn't look like the archives on this site go back as far as some of the trailer warranties roll on!

I can also attest to their beer being top of the line to match their trailers!  So, are they going to add a frig in the rear tack and also add outside access to the frig in the LQ?

The outdoor fridge is next to the pull-out charcoal grill on the same side as your outdoor kitchen. Maybe your model isn't as new as mine though. I really love the wine cellar. I had to give up the mid-tack option to have it all just slide out of the mid-tack area but it was well worth it.

Welcome back Rollin Ponies!!!  We have missed you.  Looking forward to all the exciting news and fantastic features of the Blue Moon trailers.  I happen to have an '09 model, but the horses have pooped in it too many times - I need the one with the automatic pooper scooper in it...

Thanks for the welcome back, Dunoir.  Its has been quite a while; lots of adventures since I was last on the board.

Its good to be back and terrific to see all the creative ideas that this board has. I'll be sure to share them with the Moon Management when I see them in a few weeks.

One of thet things the Moonies have found  in their marketing research is that horse owners don't like cleaning their trailers.  They think there is interest in a self cleaning trailer floor.  As soon as they saw the research they put the B.M. (Thats for Blue Moon, y'all) engineers to work on it.  I have attached a picture of the prototype floor system.  

 

Roll on!

I hate to teeze this board but I just got a "spy" photo of some more engineering work being done on the new Blue Moon horse trailer.  Earlier I told you about the special roof plates made of unobtanium; these are guaranteed to never leak and to hold up to most Texas hail storms.  One of the engineers at the Blue Moon Design and Engineering Center just sent me this picture of them hand forming the unobtainium roof.  You can see that this isn't going to be one of those ordinary looking trailers.

 

Roll on!

One more thing before I get off of here this morning and get to work on the ranch: Blue Moon is going to have a special version of the new trailers for those tall warmblood horses.  The wife is all excited that her dressage horses aren't going to have to ride sitting down any more.  We don't have the exact dimensions yet but we are expecting that there will be plenty of room, based on the attached photo of the inside of one of the prototypes.

 

Roll on!

I hope Blue Moon takes the iniative to install an automatic steam cleaner, dryer in the tack room. I really hate opening the door to a stinky saddle blanket in the mornings!

You should get the Blue Moon optional cleaning stall, it lift off the blanket cleans and dries it while it also cleans and blow dries the horse. The only trouble I have had with is that I put my saddle horse in the cleaning stall, and he felt like a shower....well the water and drying ruined my Harris saddle..

I talked to Tater Jenkins today about when I'm going to get the new Blue Moon trailer(s) to test and I must say he was just a little evasive.  I'm pretty sure that I'll still get to test out the trailer(s), just not sure how soon they will be ready.  I did find out that they aren't doing all the research and development in West Cactus Root, Oklahoma at the plant.  Tater let it slip that there is a top secret research and development facility in (you won't believe this!) the Virgin Islands.  Im going to sneak down there this weekend and spend a  week snooping around.  No doubt that they have hidden the research facility . . . probably right in plain sight.   Im going to pay particular attention to the Soggy Dollar http://www.soggydollar.com/  and similar places.   I'll be back in a week to ten days and let you know what I've been able to fiind. Its tough work but someone's got to do it . . . for the good of horse trailer owners everywhere. 

Roll on!

Just got back from the BlueMoon expedition.  I had page after page and photo after photo of all the latest R&D work that BlueMoon is doing down there and I seem to have lost it all!  All the tremendous research in the Virgin Islands I was lost when I was forced to drink certain secret tropical pain killers and other derivatives of sugar cane. 

I had it all until I walked into this place http://www.soggydollar.com/default2.aspx

I'll take the next few days and see if I can reconstruct the information for this forum.

Roll on!

My recent trip to the secret Blue Moon R&D labs has given me new insights to the miraculous things that are being done with boxes on wheels horse trailers and I noticed several hot topics have come up on this board lately. The many high tech features of the new Blue Moon trailers will put people’s minds at ease about their concerns with many aspects of horse trailers. I’ll try to cover these one at a time over the next few weeks so that you’ll be able to digest all this new engineering info.

 

Blue moon has developed a new nano-ball bucky bearing that reduces friction to nothing.  Once the trailer is rolling absolutely no power is needed to pull it.  This eliminates the need for all those big hulking turbo-diesel hauling rigs.  Now you can pull your trailer (even a six horse with quarters) with a Honda Civic or even two teenage boys with skateboards. Not only does this reduce the amount of fuel you’ll be using but there will be no need for those “goose neck” configurations.  Imagine: without goose neck trailers and diesel trucks no one will ever break out their rear windows again . . . all because of a new bearing . . . and no more geese will have to contribute their necks to the manufacture of horse trailers.  This will also reshape the dynamics of this forum, since no one will ever need to ask if they “have enough truck.” Oh yeah, one more thing:  These bearings come perma-packed: No more wondering if you need to re-pack your bearings.  No suffering from the outrageous expense of  re-packing just to trailer your horse safely.  Just jump in and pull the trailer.  It takes a little while to get it moving but once you get up to speed your good . . .  mile after mile, month after month, year after year and horse after horse.  AMAZING!  

 

Roll on!

OMG....I've just got to have this new Blue Moon!  I have to keep up my image of the Dolly Parton Trail Camp Queen....I've got folks coming this weekend to look at my old-timey trailer....I hope they don't find out anything about this new BM trailer...maybe I can talk them into my International truck, too!...it will free up a parking space in the barn, save $$ on insurance, maintenance, etc....think of the money I can save by upgrading to the BM with every option....and use my gas-sipper green car, to boot!
