So there I was yesterday, doing my monthly perusal of Craigslist looking at horse trailers. I’m not in the market yet but eventually some day I’ll buy a truck and then a trailer, so why not just start looking now, right? It makes sense, trust me.
I was clicking through the Dallas ads, not really even paying much attention, when I was stopped dead in my tracks by the paint job on a shitty old rust bucket of a trailer. My reaction was something like this:
It was quite honestly the most tacky, gaudy, and mesmerizingly garish paint job I have ever seen. My eyeballs were bleeding. But it was also The Best Paint Job Ever. Behold, readers, the trailer whose outside looks just like my inside:
Yes, it’s blue and yellow. Yes, it’s got unicorns on it. Yes, it’s covered in stars. You might as well go ahead and paint my name across the front and cover the whole damn thing with glitter clear coat. It is, without a doubt, the most awful and yet most amazing trailer I have ever seen. EVEN THE HUBBIES ARE YELLOW! And it has BLUE ASTROTURF in the tack compartment!
Let’s all take a moment to be extremely thankful for the fact that Henry would not fit in this tacky ass jalopy, otherwise it would probably be sitting in my driveway right now. Let’s also take a moment to appreciate that there is someone else out there just like me, who loves the same colors I do AND is super into unicorns. I don’ t know you, Julio from Dallas, but you’ve created a true work of art here. Hats off to you, sir.
She’s beautiful.

How big is Henry? Because I have the exact same style of trailer and Sydney fits perfectly with some room to spare.

16.1h. It looks like the typical little coffin-like QH trailer that is so popular here… not super desirable for me. Mangers plus center post are deal killers.

I know right? That paint job alone is almost worth the $3500. Julio is a visionary.

The answer is obvious. Get Julio’s number and commission him to paint your more appropriate trailer purchase. Think of the creativity he could exercise on a bigger canvas!

We’d need to take out the middle, raise the roof, and add a ramp lol. Prob easier to just get a bigger one and hire Julio the Artist to cover it with unicorns. Hey… Bobby has a Brenderup that could use a new paint job…
