  • This was one heck of an undertaking. I literally didn't think I could do it. I almost gave up multiple times. Made countless mistakes. Yet here we are. May this be a testament to what motivation, hard work, and a good attitude can produce. Thanks to my subscribers for all the encouragement along the way. We did it.
    Stay tuned for more epic videos. Love G.

    Great video. The more I think about trailer reconversion, the more I like the idea of repurposed horse trailers, big and small. The height, the narrow windows, the whole "steel & nothing else" that gives a clean canvas without too many bad surprises, the good suspension if one decides to drive a lot... Yep, I love this trend.

    I am doing this in the summer of 2023..I have spotted three 70's vintage trailers in my area. going to make an offer on one or two of them in the spring of 2023. This video pushed me to take on the challenge.. Thanks..

    this video has been my main inspiration for the past month as i’ve watched it countless times. for the past year i have bought and sold older 2 horse trailers to different companies that convert them into bars. i always found the final product to be special and i’ve been wanting to build my own. i stumbled across your video over a month ago and it completely motivated me to follow through with building a mobile bar. i’ve used your video for reference throughout much of my process. i’ve spent the last five weeks just on prepping for paint. ive had to learn how to bondo and how to cut and grind with an angle grinder. it’s gotten me out of my comfort zone and gave me confidence to bring my vision to life. i just want to say thank you. your video not only inspired me but it shifted my perspective. building this trailer has been rewarding and challenging at the same time. thanks for documenting your build. this is currently my favorite video on youtube lol.

    This is absolutely insanely cool. I’ve been wanting to buy an old float and slowly do it up.
    The only thing I will say is that I would never put my horse in a float with the axles/floor structure that rusted. Seen far too many horror stories where horses have fallen through floors mid journey. I’d be stripping it down and replacing bit by bit.
