Hello Pegi,

For your 1999 Sundowner you will want the EZ Lock Gooseneck Coupler Lock Combo - Bulldog/Stallion/Superior/T.E.M. Gooseneck Couplers # BLTL-53-40D2, or if you do not want the combo, you could get the one you were looking at # BLTL-50-40D.

Now that we got the lock figured out, I must ask, what kind of horses do you have? I showed Western growing up and would love to have horses again one day.

Hi Kate, I’m kind of semi retired as a professional trainer after 50+ years and currently have two quarter horses. Gus is my show horse who I compete in Ranch Horse Versatility and I started him in English dressage also about two years ago. He’s currently showing First Level. He’s quite the talented guy-I’m looking at starting him in Working Equitation too! My other horse Gypsy is an older quarter horse that was recently gifted to me as she has some soundness issues but I’ve got her comfortable after working with my vet and I use her to go out trail riding. She was trained as a Reiner so there’s lots of bottoms there if I ask for them! I have been primarily an English trainer my entire life and have had Thoroughbreds and various Warmbloods in my competition string as Grand Prix Jumpers and A circuit hunters/equitation. I moved to AZ about 15 years ago and began training and competing AQHA and APHA Western Pleasure, Western Riding etc. I learned how to Team Rope as a Header which I competed in a little. But then I found that Ranch Horse Versatility is really my niche! I’m basically still just a horse loving kid in a 68 year old body and all horses are my favorites lol.

@PegiL Wow Pegi, that sounds like quite the life with horses! I love that you are both into the Western and English styles. I always wanted to learn the English side of things, but my family only stuck on the western side. The name Gus is very dear to my heart, but because of a golden retriever I had. I have not been on a horse in about 10 years, you have inspired me to change that this summer! I grew up in California but call Missouri home now. My little brother started working on a Ranch out in California a few years ago, maybe I need to pay him a visit. He has gotten into the roping as well. Ranch Horse Versatility is definitely up my alley as well. Don't ever lose that horse loving kid side! Just because our bodies age, doesn't mean out spirits need to age! Happy riding Pegi =)
