When my daughter turned five, she asked for a pony. She continued to ask for a pony each year. At age twelve, we got her riding lessons and she continued to ask for a pony. That summer, we suggested she get a job at the local stable. We suggested that if she demonstrated she could care for the horses, we would seriously consider getting her a pony. We live way out the in country. We have a pasture that could easy hold a pony and it wouldn't take much to put an enclosure in the pasture to let the pony get out of the weather. Despite this, we recognized that getting her a pony was a significant investment that would include food, shelter, insurance and medical care for years to come. Somehow we didn't consider transportation when we calculated our expenses. Before we could even get the horse home, we had to find a horse trailer and get a Mississauga trailer hitch company to set our truck up to pull the trailer. The first place we went seemed a little odd. The guy was welding in a dirt yard and his welder was hooked up to a long extension cord. He didn't have a place for customer's to wait and couldn't tell us anything about the Mississauga trailer hitch he was suggesting we needed. We decided to go somewhere else. The next Mississauga trailer hitch place was quite professional. They had a shop where the vehicle could be pulled in and they had quite a bit of inventory visible in the shop. They had a nice waiting room but they didn't have the parts to fit our truck to the horse trailer. They recommended a place on the other side of town. This Mississauga trailer hitch place wasn't quite as professional looking, but I immediately got the sense that the man we were talking to knew exactly what was needed. Somehow I knew that we didn't need to look any farther. His waiting room was shabby and filled with ancient magazines. His shop was cluttered and he didn't have any organization for his inventory that I could see. Yet I felt very calm and relaxed at his shop; to me it was clear that he knew exactly what he was talking about. We wanted a Mississauga trailer hitch that was welded to the truck's frame. We also wanted receiver style hitch so that we could remove the part that sticks out when we weren't using it. We wanted it to look neat and professional and most of all we wanted to be able to easily tow the horse trailer. After about an hour, we left the shop with our new Mississauga trailer hitch fully installed. We drove straight to where the horse trailer was located and found it very easy to hook up to our truck. We then went and picked up the little painted mare that we had found for my daughter. We found that the rig towed very nicely and was snuggly attached with our Mississauga trailer hitch. We stopped at the vet's office to have the horse checked out and then drove the horse to her new home. Our daughter was ecstatic. She squealed and danced around so much that she scared the heck out of the poor horse. Once she had calmed down, she gently led her horse into the pasture. She spent the next two hours brushing the horse and getting to know her. We pulled the truck around to the house and disconnected the horse trailer. We removed the receiver part of the Mississauga trailer hitch and stowed it in the truck. It felt good to know that we could use these tools whenever we needed to care for the horse that was making our daughter so happy.
