It’s time to get your float, tow car or truck checked out, before the weekends get taken up by all the 2026 events.

Tyres have a year made date on them and they suggest to have them replaced from wear & tear after around 5-7yrs. This is just a guide to help as it all depends on how much you use the float, kilometres, storage, wet or sun areas etc. The tyre shop are the ones who can assess your tyres for you. Bearings are very important too. Make sure your car is legally allowed to tow the weight of your float loaded, as all those extra rugs, brushes, feeds etc add up very quickly. It’s not so much the power or pulling, it’s the power of stopping at this unexpected times.

This could be a good time to learn how to change a tyre, in case your by yourself or somewhere that doesn’t have a service station.

Also check with your insurance company about breakdowns, as most of them won’t tow the float with a horse in it. Most tow truck drivers aren’t familiar with the extra care horses need when being towed.
Have you ever stood on a bus without hanging on? It can be a bit unsteady, so how do you think the horses would cope.
Remember that when your taking corners when towing.

One of the other big factors is checking the flooring for weak spots, water damage, rust spots (specially manure area) & wiring. For those with aircons, fridges, gas bottles etc, check for leaks or if they need cleaning.

It’s always been a good saying some grandparents might of said- “A stitch in time, saves nine”. Meaning = Check now and have fixed, instead of being stuck on the side of the main road with horse on the float and getting someone to help pickup horse, get a tow truck for float and car or something much worse.!

That’s why it’s also good to have spare water and feed in your float, for if you have a problem.
For the car- water, oil, jumping cables etc.
For you water, snacks, spare set of clothes, medical kit etc.

Everyone loves their fur babies, so take care and don’t put it off.
