anyone on here fed up with having an old trailer???

I'm sooo fed up with my old Rice trailer!

Without fail, every time I use it, something goes wrong!! Either one of the wheels sticks, requiring a big whack with a hammer. The partition has been broken twice, usually when there is one horse in it. Last time my mare somehow leant on the breast bars, bending them out of shape and now they won't align properly. The back light was hanging off one time I arrived at a show. I get so stresssed with it. I'd love a newer one but just aint got the cash at the mo. It's so high maintainance!!! Is this the norm or have I bought a lemon?? I would say its about a 1992 model. Anyone else got one?? how do you find yours??

I realise it is costing you in repairs atm...but on the brightside,when the problem is fixed it wont happen again!

I bought and old rice hunter trailer with dodgy floor £300,few other minor jobs,but with a good lick of paint it would have been great for me and big lad...hubby was supposed to be redoing floor...i had to sell it as i knew damn well he wouldnt do it(after a yr it was still sat waiting for him to do it

)

How true is that

Fortunately i have a lovely person in the YO that is happy for me to use their trailer for £10 a time which will help pay for the upkeep...which i think is very good of them

Hey at least you have got some wheels! although by the sounds of it, it may need a good old service to make sure everything is working ok, but at least you can do that and its cheaper than buying a brand new one.
