Do a lot of guys bring running and driving horses for sale or are they mostly projects?

That's a trick question because most projects run and drive, they just have a lifetime of character.

@pullstart 16 horses?!? Ill maybe prolly end up with 3 lol. Talked to the wife and shell be done driving school bus before June 25th and I got 8 days vacation left I'm coming down to p.a. this year. Putting in for the time off this afternoon when I head to work. Still think I'm gonna take a look at this RJ but if it doesn't work out that's 5 more months to save up for sonething at the show maybe. Do a lot of guys bring running and driving horses for sale or are they mostly projects?

 

2018 was my first big show.   Then I had a C-101 worker, a C-101 parts donor and my 502.  When I rolled into Chambersburg for the Wednesday night meet up, the paint was still fresh on my 502 restoration.  I thought my truck was full with just the 502.  I ended up purchasing 3 tractors while I was there and one needed gas, one needed a thorough cleaning and fresh fuel and battery, the other needed a new valve spring and retainer.  Quick and easy fixes, none more than $150 I believe.

 

The paint pictures were the Tuesday afternoon before I left Michigan.

You'd find plenty of both there. Trailer queens to everyday workers to projects.

At the Big Show, you will find that everything is for sale there...and some things really are for sale.  Yes, both runners, projects, parts, queens are there for sale.  Check the pictures through the years of the Big Show (WHCC)  Wheel Horse Collector's Club Show.  :orcs-cheers:

I’ll also add, just a week or two before that show, my wife told me “if you go get a zero turn to mow the lawn (3 acres), you can have as many Wheel Horses as you want!”  I took that quite literally and reminded her a few times that she told me I could do that.  She now doesn’t remember saying that :laughing-rofl:
