How Do I....?

[Ohdrat]

fit a horse onto a CO26??? have horse and will have boat.. looking for ways to combine the 2... ?

Given that the horse takes up 75% of my spare (not working) time and I need some time to eat and sleep (and preferably wash too..).

P.S. The horse swims in the sea v happily..

Easy

When ample wind boat tows horse

When wind drops horse tows boat.

Only problem attaching appropriate lights and shapes to horse and precise positioning of rudder on horse.

Which lights and shapes would you advise? NUC may be the most appropriate considering the nature of the horse...

Re power compactor .. horse is considerably larger than your wife..... unless she is the equivalent of 3 / 4 Geoff Capes / Strongest Man in the World types... Shwarzenegger eat your heart out.. and I think Jake (the horse) would protest as I do not think he would appreciate his forced reduction in size...

What sort of Life saving device would you advise for a horse (can you get horse sized bouancy aids (like the cat/dog ones)... maybe a couple of "tubes" (like the ones used to sit people on and tow) strapped on either side???

Well

Dunno

Could be restricted by draught if its that big a horse.

I wouldn't like to be in Fatipa's shoes if his wife reads this thread

Couldn't you have bought a dog like everyone else?

A power compactor should only ever be operated by highly trained personel, it is not something that can be picked up in an afternoon by your average DIY boater.

Instead why not send your horse along to those freindly guys at http://www.bonsaikitten.com/

They mainly specialise in felines, but would might take on your project if you offer to shrink your wallet in return

Good luck

Lyle Lovett has a song about this, I think it's on his 'Pontiac' album...

Horse is part draught (Clydesdale) so cannot be restricted draught...

Jake is on loan (his owner can't control him... neither can I!)

Re http://www.bonsaikitten.com/... my wallet is already considerably shrunk by above... and I am not sure a small animal (kitten) bonsai agency would be able to handle Jake...they state they modify "house" pets... god help the house you let Jake loose in.. Also I think the principle is to alter the body before it has fully grown.. I think (read hope) Jake is now full grown..

Will go and get Pontiac album and listen to Lyle Lovetts words of wisdom on the subject...
