*** The horse featured here is a 7 year old Standard Bred name Wal E.  He was originally taken in by a lady who had rescued him but she herself fell in some hard times and turned to Hope Equine Rescue to take him in.  Hope Equine Rescue was able to pull up Wal E's background from the tattoo that he has.  He was born at on of the leading Standardbred farms and was sold as a yearling.  He was brought to Florida to race as a Pacer.  He ran in 57 races and won a little over $40,000.  When Wal-E went lame he was sold among several horse brokers.  The last of his care givers left him and two other horses to starve to death.  Wal- E's real name is Haggis Hanover.  He has tons of personality and is going to make someone a really cool horse.

 


 

Turn a Lead into $5,000 for You or Your Organization With the Sale of an Equine Motorcoach

Release: October 09 2008

Through December 2008, the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) is offering $5,000 to any individual or organization that can supply a lead that translates to the sale of a new Equine Motorcoach?„?.

Equine Motorcoach?„? is the unique all-in-one motorized luxury RV and horse transport. Billed as "The New Breed Of Luxury," Equine Motorcoach?„? is designated as the ???Official Horse Transport Vehicle of the United States Equestrian Federation.??? The horse transport area accommodates up to six horses comfortably, while providing an air ride to ensure that the horses are ready to compete as soon as they arrive at a horse show.

The luxury of the horse transport area sets Equine Motorcoach?„? apart from all other transports and trailers. A key benefit is the front and rear air ride that was uniquely designed for its truck by Volvo Trucks North America.

The Equine Motorcoach?„? is quiet, and its European slant-load puts the major visual motion behind the horse and helps the horse balance easily while traveling. It makes sure that the only work a horse has to do is at the show and not on the way to the show.

Luxury is not limited to the horses. In just seconds, the versatile lounge converts into a queen suite fit for royalty. A combination of upper bunks and a full size bed over the cab bring the sleeping accommodations up to six. The larger standard table makes dining an elegant experience. Waterford Crystal, engraved china, and sterling silver flatware enhance the luxury and elegance of Equine Motorcoach?„?.

Fully equipped with an AM/FM/CD player complete with an iPod port, satellite TV, and Xbox 360, Equine Motorcoach?„? continues to make an extended stay pleasant and enjoyable. Wine storage, stainless steel sinks, dishwasher, electric cook surface, convection microwave and built-in television are just the beginning of what can be expected from Equine Motorcoach?„?.

For more information on Equine Motorcoach?„?, please contact Bob Wiegand at (502) 664-7108 or
bwiegand@equinemotorcoach.com.
