    	I am going to order the larger trunk after the holidays - without
    	the cushy seat... mine is plenty for me!  I need something I
    	can lock up when I go trail riding alone...  I am going to bolt
    	the inside of the trunk to my trailer.  Then when it is locked -
    	you cannot remove anything including the trunk.

797.2-<W/a few mod. works great!>Got the SPORTOTEPENUTS::DDILLONWed Feb 14 1990 14:2322
    
    Hi, my name is Marti and I'm borrowing Diane's account to 	
    respond to this note, so please do not send me any mail.	
    
    Anyway, I just bought a SPORTOTE through Libertyville Saddle	
    Shop.  I bought the larger trunk for $79.95 plus $14.70 shipping	
    and handling.  The trunk does lock but it requires two padlocks 	
    on either side to secure it.  I have to admit that I felt that 
    the hardware used could be sturdier.  I had my husband pop out
    rivets, redrill the holes and add solid screws to increase the
    strength (it only took a few minutes to do).	
    
    I really like having the heavy polyethylene instead of wood since
    this will not crack, splinter or rot.  I do wish that they offered
    it in an even larger size (guess I'll have to quit buying horse
    stuff!).
    
    Anyway, it's working out good for me.
    
    Happy hoofbeats - Marti
