USRider & Lucky "B" Team Up to Help Equestrians

USRider has teamed up with Lucky "B" Manufacturing in an effort to further enhance the safety of those who travel with horses.

Through its Equestrian Motor Plan, USRider provides roadside assistance and towing services along with other travel-related benefits to its members. In addition to the typical flat-tire repair, battery assistance and lock-out services, the Equestrian Motor Plan offers services designed with horse owners in mind, including towing and roadside assistance for a loaded horse trailer.

With the exception of flat tires, breakdowns involving trailers almost always involve a component of the running gear. Taking this into account, USRider has teamed with Lucky "B" Manufacturing, the nation's leading supplier of trailer parts and supplies.

Through this exclusive arrangement, Lucky "B" is providing each USRider member with a free copy of its Operation Maintenance Service Guide. This booklet will help USRider members better understand, maintain and service their trailer and its systems.

"We have been stocking and supplying trailer parts and accessories to the industry for over 20 years. We offer a wide variety of parts from all major component manufacturers," said Drew McKee, head of sales for Lucky "B." McKee added, "With six stocking warehouses from New Hampshire to Utah and over $3 million in inventory, Lucky "B" is sure to have the parts its customers need. In fact, many current trailers were likely built with parts originally supplied from a Lucky "B" location."

As an added bonus, USRider members receive a 10% discount when ordering parts from Lucky "B." The Lucky "B" catalog is available online at or by calling 1-800-476-8923.

With an annual fee comparable to that of other roadside assistance programs, USRider offers many services geared toward horse owners. For example, USRider will arrange towing services for a loaded trailer. It will also arrange stabling for horses, if necessary, while a vehicle is being repaired. The plan includes insurance components such as personal excess equine liability and accidental death & disablement while traveling.

"We took a unique approach to motor plans: we are horse people that created a motor plan – not a motor plan that created something for horse people," said Mark Cole, managing member for USRider.

"And a member benefit such as this from Lucky "B" makes USRider membership and even better value," added Cole. "Not only does this particular benefit help our members understand their trailer system but it also helps them be safer while trailering their horses. This in turn helps them be better stewards of their horses. Another advantage of this benefit – and others offered through USRider – is the opportunity for our members to save money."

According to Cole, USRider coverage is growing rapidly as word gets out about the program and people realize that other motor plans exclude coverage for vehicles towing loaded horse trailers.

Cole added, "The main benefit to our members is now they have someone to call. Broken down on the side of the highway, they need to look out for the safety of themselves and their horses – they call us and we take it from there."
