I don't miss Red

I'm giving Sparkler extra attention, since she's all alone. She whinnies when I come to see her, which is unusual. It is SO nice to walk into the pen without Red there. I can move all around her and hug her and feel safe.

Still looking at trailers. There are a few Web sites that are helpful:

• Horse Trailer World (National listing)


• Denny's Trailer Sales (Wykoff, MN)


• Goodrich Trailer Sales (Eau Claire, WI)


• Loomis Tack and Trailer (Mondovi, WI)

I really like the Kiefer Eagle XLA. It's real solid, but a little more than we want to spend. The Featherlite are nice and so are the SilverLite. We can't seem to find any used trailers. They are either really old or the price of a newer one is more than that of a new low-end trailer.
