    Life and horse trailers.....kicking around options

    I would get a tow bar on the yeti and buy a suitable second hand trailer . You can part with trailer in the future without much loss. I think the freedom it will give you to enjoy Hermosa will make all the hassle of sorting it out worth while . My Mum spent the war at Aberfoyle and used to take...

    Is this viable grazing land?…
