 Ralphie V was initially transported in the same custom steel , black stock trailer that carried Ralphie III and IV . In 2012 a new highly customized aluminum stock trailer was purchased through donations made to the program , which is now used to transport Ralphie V. In 2016 , a new black leather harness and headstall was used for Ralphie , built by Bill Jesser Saddlery out of Longmont , Colorado . The new harness kept the iconic brass “ CU ” located on the front of her headstall , and the leather color was switched from brown to black . The brass CU logo was made by Ray “ Butch ” Cornell , the son of Ray Cornell who built the first Ralphie harness . The previous harness that she wore was also worn by Ralphie III and IV .
