Just got back from taking my Weimaraner for one of his daily runs along one of our 4 beaches, todays choice was Long Sands. When I got there I watched a lady riding a beautiful horse along the beach so I gave her plenty of time to get to the farthest side so I could let Levi run in the opposite direction. I parked behind the trailer and was sure surprised when I saw it was attached to the 6th Ridgeline I've seen since purchasing Pandora. A Billet Silver RTL with ME plates.

I waited until she had loaded her horse until I got off the beach with Levi so I could ask what she thought of the Ridge. She told me it was her dads and she has a Suburban she usually uses as the trailer is 3800 lbs and her horse is 1000 plus her and gear. I asked how it handled everything and she said it was surprising fine considering she's used to a 12,000 load capacity on the Suburban. She asked about Levi and I told her he was a rescue and she said her horse was also, pretty cool outing. :D

A story close to my heart! I recently moved my horse using my coach's trailer and my Ridge. My husband's only regret is we didn't need to get out on the highway to see how it did out there. Pulled like a dream!

Now, that was just one horse (about 1000 lbs) and we may actually feel it if we have her horse (1500 lbs) on board, too.

Great story Banjo. Thanks for sharing. Also close to my heart as I use to show horses many years ago.

Great story. Levi is a lucky dog to have found you. My dogs would love a daily run on the beach, or mountain, or meadow. . .
