Location: Washington State | I own a little 2004 2H slant Thuro-Bilt Spirit with a separate tack area, sort of. The tack area has a separate door and is divided from the hauling area by a removable panel so it can be converted to a stock trailer. The removable panel has bridle hooks and a blanket rack, but nowhere to put a saddle. I bought it only very lightly used and got a great deal on it. Before I bought it, I called a local dealership about this model and was told it was no problem to add a saddle rack. I called back after I bought it and was told it was intended to be more like a stock trailer and they didn't have saddle racks for them and had no advice how to find one. Well, I am pretty ignorant about this kind of stuff, but it seems to me I could just buy those little bolt on saddle racks sold by tack stores and make it work. What I am not sure is how to secure it properly without denting or damaging the metal. Those western saddles are pretty heavy. What is the best way to secure them? I realize that once installed to the main body of the trailer, it is no longer safe as a stock trailer since you wouldn't want the horses getting hooked up on it. That is okay, since I don't use it as a stock trailer. Any advice? thanks |
