Standing on it's end I will then weld 4 box trailer spring hangers to the axle hub. I then will drill a hole in the end of 4 lengths of 25mm gal pipe and bolt them to the spring hangers. (The reason for the spring hangers is so that when I use the round yard for the orses, I can lift and fold the lengths of pipe up in air out of the way.) I will then slip a 100mm piece of larger pipe over the 25mm pipe so it can act like a roller. This will enable the rotation over the top of the timber fencing of the round yard. Then I will weld a ring at the other end of the pipe so I can hook the dogs on.

Now how cool does that sound fellow forum members?

That should impress beautiful Lilly.
