Even white collar desk jockeys can need a truck on a regular basis. I'm one and own a truck. For about 9 months a year I use it frequently, at least once a week on average, to pull a horse trailer to get my daughter's horses around. A 4 wheel drive vehicle is required to reach my beach house because it requires driving on a beach which doesn't have compacted sand to drive on. AWD drive vehicles can't make it. I help pull many of them out of the sand each summer.
- paulryanrogers 4y agoBeach house, child with multiple horses, how common are such things? Perhaps I'm still being underpaid or am of less fortunate breeding.
- PaulHoule 4y agoWe've got 7 horses all of which are used in lessons. We have a compact car. Most of the people who run a riding barn probably do have a big-ass track to carry a horse trailer around but most of the people who start a riding barn lose money at it. (We've seen three individuals go out of business running a big horse barn down the road... It finally got somebody who is sensible.) We started out really small (just two) so we never wound up with a large herd of unprofitable animals the way a lot of people do who feel pressured to get 10-15 horses right away. The usual justification for that horse trailer is to go to and from horse shows which we don't do. When we get a new animal (maybe once every two years) we pay somebody with a truck to haul it for us.
- PolygonSheep 4y agoFrankly if I ever get to the "I own a beach house and my daughters need their horses hauled around" level of success I'll just hire a couple of sturdy proles to carry me to and from the beach house on a sedan chair and leave the butler to worry about getting the horses from place to place.
