About Me

My photo
Well to start off in case it wasn't obvious, I LOVE HORSES! I have been riding for about three, coming on four years now. I was one of the top riders in my riding school when it came to riding western. So I know a thing or two about western riding. If I was asked what types of horses are my favorites, defiantly Quarter Horses. I am also a sucker for American Paints, Appaloosas, Buckskins and lots more. I really don't have a least favorite type though. My current horse is a 4 year old American Paint named Daisy. She is my first horse I ever really trained from the ground up. She is a halter baby and an ex western pleasure horse that also knows a few reining tricks, even though she doesn’t neck rein. I also have a wonderful dog named Gretchen. I also have a HUGE wonderful family. My mom has seven brothers and a sister, so you do the math. Really I am just your typical American girl, so if you really want to know more just ask.

So I took a moment to do a little research project. I have always loved trucks. Always have, always will. Just the way I grew up I guess. However unlike most, I am not truck bias. I think that most of them have their good qualities and that some times, just like any normal car would, stuff happens. So here I have composed a truck I have fallen in love with from the moment I saw it, a Ford. I also have included my favorite horse trailer into the mix. Enjoy!


Let’s start off with one of my top favorites Ford. Mom says the only reason I like them is because Toby Keith backs them up. However, that’s not the only reason. I like the look of them, they seem to be a rather sturdy, not the most afford able (L) and go everywhere do everything truck. Not to mention Toby Keith is like better than Elvis and Jimmy Hendricks by far in my own little country world. The truck I chose to build was the Ford Super Duty F350 XLT. Maybe it’s the redneck side of me, but who wouldn’t love the fact that it says Super Duty in chrome across part of the hood? Takes me back to when mom and I were looking for our new “family” car and we were driving through the Ford dealership. It was about close to time for me to get my license and to start looking for a car anyway. We were driving past the trucks when I saw them. It was like looking at the face of God. Now mom knows I love trucks, so as she ever so rightfully should have done was pull over to let me at least touch it. Did she? NO! I politely asked her to pull over so I could look and here are her exact words, “Why would I want to look for those? They are ugly anyway!” I know, mean right? Whatever, I will get my payback when I am driving and she wants’ to stop. He he…. Anyway back on topic. Some of the features I chose are the extended crew cab, 8 ft box size, the camper package (I don’t camp, but when I ever do, I will be ready.), fifth wheel gooseneck and in dash computer to just name a few. All this coming to $39,660. YIKES! Hey though a girl can dream right????? Here is a picture of it thanks to Ford.com



Now on to the most important part, the trailer. The trailer I chose is a four horse trailer by Feather Lite. Feather Lite is known for their stainless steel trailers and their good make. They are often up for grabs at many barrel races, so you know you are getting a good buy. The one that I made is a six horse, meaning it can fit up to six horses at a time. It also has a wrapped hay rack, a five foot “dressing room”, feed bag and more. This comes to a grand total of $19,363. OUCH, I know, but believe me it’s all worth it! Here is the website to take a look at my selection:

All in all, we all have dreams, mine with just have to cost me quite a bit. Hope they all come true!
