Building a 3 horse angle/4 horse straight load float

[CrysG]

Hi everyone,

I am currently putting in alot of research for plans and blueprints for building a 3 horse angle that can convert to a 4 horse straight load float with extra height, safe features as well as swing out tack boxes and a front feed room.

I was curious as to whether anyone on the forum has built or knows someone who has built their own float. Ideas, websites, or somewhere I can buy plans/blueprints would be fantastic.



This is my 1st post so I would also like the chance to introduce myself. My names Crystal, but feel free to call me Crys

I have a Percheron Warmblood X Thoroughbred yearling who I will be training in dressage and a Anglo Arab X Stock Horse 6 year old gelding who I showjump. I am a very easy going Aussie chick who loves meeting new people! Lovely to meet you all folks !!

HiCrys We poms call them horse boxes ( lorry).. what we call a float is a truck (UTE) for delivering milk door to door, but hey we love you guys and your more sophisticated neighbors in NZ

, I built my own box out of a mercedes atego boxvan
no blue prints but could send some pics....

Lorry, got ya! I'll try remember that

Hahaha milk delivery, wow a Ute in Australia is a car with a trayback! Amazing how words change so much within the same language all over the world!

As for the Kiwi's are you saying they're more sophisticated then use bush bashers

hehe. I'm a desert dweller myself

How did you decide what measurements to use etc etc... Some photos would be fantastic!!
