The Floats we build at Lara Floats are built to the highest standards and using the highest grade quality materials, you are assured a safe, quality built float, that is not only stylish, but comes...
At Lara Floats we strive to build a float to your needs, nothing is a hassle and nothing is too hard. We enjoy having your input into your new personalised float!
How many times have you heard the saying 'I wish I didn't buy this, why did I get it from them, I will never buy from them again'? Well, my first plan was understanding and getting to know you the customer and finding out what YOU want and how YOU want it. The floats at Lara Floats are always being improved, strengthened and customised so in the end you will get the float you have dreamt about and not have to take out a loan to pay for it. I have come up with numerous designs and ideas, why not take a look and see for yourself, you will not find a better float built to your specifications ...
Why Custom Designed with Individuality?
"Because these days people are wanting something to call their own, we at Lara Floats help them by not making one float the same ."
"Every Float is built with different pin stripe style ... I know for a fact that these amazingly stunning looks are not only stylish but have their own individuality too!"
We at Lara Floats strive to built the best float possible to suit each individuals needs and new concepts are constantly implemented in our designs which used all around in Australia. Searching for the right company to build you that float with your personal touches and new exciting accessories?, well this is the right place! We dare you to find 'better options'. I have put not only sweat and grunt into these floats but superior materials that out live the old conventional ones...
How could a plain boring float be good enough when you can customise your own, from the colour to the mags!
When one thing doesn't work try another
Don't want a horse float? That's OK. Why not a try a trailer!
Not only do Lara Floats built horse floats, we build anything !
All our staff at Lara Floats are all people that are very good at what they do, but no-one ever asked us the questions;
Why wasn't the door welded on properly?
Why didn't you do as I asked?
Can I get a refund?
Did you zinc the frame to protect against rust?
Some people may have no idea when it comes to knowing the in's and out's, so we just get the job done and all the little things are taken care of for you.
Perhaps you are wondering what any of the above questions have to do with buying a float? There are many companies out there offering something different. We at Lara Floats not only offer something different but we also offer piece of mind, that your horses will be safe in our floats.

After being in the horse business for 40 years I have personally towed several brands of floats and found Lara Floats to be the best. They tow very well as they are balance to perfection. I love to tow it all over the place, some times for 5 to 6 hours strait with pleasure & it is very roomy. With outstanding presentation and looks Id like to say thank you Peter and Dorothy, a job well done

Hi Guys,
Well we are home from Adelaide, the new float towed like a dream, the entire way over their dad could not stop going on and on about it! He said he has towed Kentucky, Pegasus (most recently) Olympic etc, and he said it towed the best, it was light but did not move, saved heaps on fuel (still had a ¼ tank at Horsham where we are normally empty towing the old Pegasus double) and he would not have known it was there. He cannot rate them highly enough. I am so extremely happy with it, its fantastic.
Heading off to the Wimmera the first week of October, taking 5 horses up there for the show run for a week, so that should be great. There were a lot of Lara Floats in Adelaide, and dad was recommending them to everyone.
Thank you again, updating the website this week and getting some photos of it to put on there, shall send you the link when updated.

Hi Dorothy,
We made it home safely by about 7pm. The wind was horrendous but the float sat well.
I just wanted to say Thank you to you, Peter and the guys for our gorgeous float. I am rapt with it and just love the colour scheme.
Can't wait to take it to a show.
Keep Well and all the best,
Melissa and Rick Hoile.

Hi Dorothy, Peter and Family
I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the amazing float that you built me and my horse, before buying this float she wouldn't load and I would struggle to go anywhere, but now she just walks straight on and is as happy as Larry, when I picked up my float I got some business card from Dorothy as I was going to a big competition the next day and wanted to put the word out there, I got asked some question like "what is she like to tow?" my answer " BRILLIANT just BRILLIANT!!"
so I put the cards out on the float so that if anyone walked past and wanted one they could, I walked away for 10 minutes and when I came back they were all gone......all 20 cards! FANTASTIC!!
BRILLIANT JUST BRILLIANT! True work of art!
Regards,
Nicky Howarth

Hi Dorothy and Peter, Just a quick email to let you know that everything went well towing our new Lara Horse Float back to Miles QLD, the float towed unbelievably well,and at times you did not know that it was there, and fuel consumption was only a minor increase, Kim took it to pony club last weekend and it drew much attention.
Anyway thank you,
Wayne Kim Jarred and Taylor Osburn

Hi Dorothy
It is just a beautiful well made float. People are very impressed with it.
We had to use it a couple of days ago to get an injured horse out of the bush up a very steep track. This was a horse that had a previous fall in a float and has been a scrambler since. He travelled great, was very calm. He could only walk on 3 legs and had to turn inside the float to come out as he couldn't walk backwards, so the float was just perfect for the job, don't know what we would have done without it.
Appreciate you getting back to me,
Jane Beswick

To Peter and Dorothy from Lara Floats and future customers,
I would like to send a huge Thank you to Peter and Dorothy for my purchase of my deluxe straight load float.
I spent many months researching float companies for a new float with all the features I was looking for, I always came back to Lara Floats as the result. For affordability, design, features and safety was paramount as I own a scrambler.
Ordering to delivery was a simple, hassle free task everything was taken care of by the Lara Floats team.
My new float was a dream come true when it arrive they are finished to perfection and tow beautifully. My horse Mr Slim Shady has become a better traveller with a quiet operation and gives him a smooth ride.
To all future customers I ONLY highly recommend Lara floats to all my friends, competitors, and equine business. I wasnt disappointed.
Sincere Thanks
Sarah Pettingill and Mr Slim Shady

I thought I would send you a couple of photos of my boys getting ready to go out to a show.
I just love my Lara Float. It has been fantastic for me to tow and I have taken it all of the state and even back over to Victoria for shows. Lara floats tow like a dream I have 3 other floats before and this is the best ever. I get asked at every show I go to if people can have a look at it and I am very happy to brag and them look at the Lara Float.
Elvis and Tristan travel beautifully in it and all I have to do is throw the lead rope over their necks and they go straight in. The car has no problems towing it and my fuel bill has even gone down.
Thank you Dorothy for selling me a great float. And if I need a upgrade I know where I will be going .
LARA FLOATS ARE THE BEST. THANKS Judy Pearson. Adelaide .SA.
