When you don't have a truck but you gotta haul.  You improvise.  This picture was taken by our moderator on Barrel Horse World, Jennifer Tucker, this morning.  She lives in Colorado.

If you're not seeing a picture, you may want to check your settings or blockers.  I'll try to post as an attachment as well.

That's hysterical. Gee... isn't there a device marketed that serves that purpose? 

That's one way to avoid the entire "will my SUV be big enough" ??

I wonder if anti-sway bars help... ha ha ha...

Sorry about that.  I'll try posting it again.  You'd think I'd know better.

 Thats the best of both worlds, LQ when you need them, short BP when you need it..........oh, and a hay feeder all rolled into one.

I laughed so frickin' hard, my keyboard is wet!  Where do folks come up with these notions?

Is that bull wearing his seat belt?  And what state was this in?   I'm from Texas and I know they like to haul livestock any way they can. HA!

Okay...that's one way to haul the whole family!  BTW...that set up in legal in some states.    Lordy!

Headhunter--

That one looks a little hard on the back end of the tow vehicle!
