Anyone made one? Or modified something to work?
Photos, weblinks and pencil drawings greatly apprectiated!
Dad is a good carpenter, but needs some inspiration as to size and design ect!

Its just by the time i get in the haynet, the water, the saddle and everything else, there is hardly enough room in the car for me!!!

Using an old Rice Hunter trailer btw.

Ideas or shopping fairys welcomed

Maltesers and cocoa for all! :D Hope your Horses are all warm and dry (Mine is out but I think growing flippers!)
 
Yes - flippers here too though they seem to be happy and its not cold.

I'm not sure about a locker in a trailer - think it might encourage someone to break in and find out what you are hiding in there. I suppose it depends how safe your trailer storage is.

Do you use both sides of the trailer or would you put it at the front and never use the front unload?

I have seen some storage lockers in the robinsons catalogue I think.
 
Hi. Personally I'm not a major fan of lockers - IMHO they get in the way for getting horses in and out. This is what we do instead. We manage to get a couple of labs and a child in too this way!

We bought a saddle tramp for the back of the 4x4, from Derby house, that holds two saddles and bridles - leaving space underneath for everything else.

We were thinking of bolting a clip to the front bulkhead of the trailer (inbetween doors) underneath the haynets, and clipping a bucket there, which can also hold washing off sponge etc. Lower down we stand a water carrier, and hold it in place with a bungee cord. We always keep spare headcollars and leadropes on the hooks in the trailer - had too many broken miles away from home in the past! We know someone who welded a bar across the gap inbetween wheels on his ifor, and he puts his water carrier there.

Everything else goes into a plastic tub with a lid - grooming kit, first aid (equine and human), studs grease etc.
 
I was thinking of putting it in the front.
its miles away from my horse - she stands across the whole box with single breast bar - rear unload (as tbh its much less hassle than fiddling about with the beast bar!)

Thanks Honey 08 good ideas! with a shortwheelbase landy - its a squish!

Re Security - Not really a problem as i would leave it open / (strewn all over the place!) most of the time - and my trailer never is unattended (dad the driver sits in the car waiting for me to be done!)
