Horse people are very fadish and one up. So if you want to win horse
shows, you have to show up with the best looking rider, the most
expensive horse, the most expensive tack, the biggest trailer with
living quarters, and the biggest truck. OTR trucks with a short bed
and lots of chrome make the best impression and get the most ribbons.
(expensive = they tell everyone what is cost was outrageously
expensive, or it looks more expensive than what everyone else has.)
As an old cowboy/wrangler friend of mine once said, "I ain't seen a
horse yet that can eat ribbons."
The vehicles that I wonder about are the Ford Excursion. My
stepdaughter rides Horses competitively. Whenever we have been to
competitions, the arena parking lots are full of Ford Excursions
pulling huge horse trailers. I talked to one of the other parents
that had one and he said they are very popular among the "horse
folk" because they can tow so much and they have room for a lot of
people. In fact used prices on the Excursions has started to go
up. This is especially true for the Diesels. But, the V10's are
still very popular too. I think there might be a real market for
buying old Excursions, restoring them and reselling them. But, it
could just be a fad.
