Are you looking for a horse trailer? Well you have come to the right place. Our listings of places that sell and/or rent horse trailers or involve horse trailer sales is the most extensive in the United States. From large manufacturers and dealers that will build and/or modify the best custom trailers for you to the small used inexpensive horse trailer for the best price, it's all right here at your fingertips.
The styles of horse trailers you'll find are: Gooseneck horse trailers, which are towed by using a coupler inside the bed of a pick up truck - Bumper pull horse trailers which are pulled like most trailers using a bumper mounted or frame mounted ball. Goosneck horse trailers are usually larger and more expensive. They also usually have the most features, including a capacity of holding from 1 horse up to 6 horses and often include small to grand living quarters. However, Bumper Pull trailers range from a capacity of 1 to 4 horses and are most commonly smaller, but there are some with nice accommodations and living quarters. Both types come in different styles so the horses and ride forward, backward, or even on a diagonal.
When deciding which type horse trailer may be best for you, take into consideration your budget, your horse or horses comfort, and your means to tow your horse trailer. If you're looking for a new trailer, prices can range from $6,000 for a two horse bumper pull, to over $100,000 for a gooseneck horse trailer with living quarters. If a used trailer is what you want the price can be as low as $1,000, (remember that getting a great deal on a horse trailer is one thing but protecting your horses from injury is your biggest concern). Inspect used horse trailers very carefully. Make sure that the floor doesn't have any rot, rust or weak spots. Check the hitch or coupler to for rust and corrosion. Be sure that the brake lights work well and the doors don't have any rust or corrosion on the latches, and always inspect the wheels. Also, check the capacity and other limits. Consider your horses comfort when choosing a trailer. Do your horses load easier with a ramp or a step up into the trailer? There are trailers designed with a ramp in the rear and on the side, making loading and unloading less stressfull and also another exit in an emergency situation . Are your horses more comfortable riding in a slant or a straight load trailer? Find this out before you buy a trailer, making your life easier and causing them less stress by traveling in the position that's most comfortable for them. When it comes to your vehicle, make sure it has the proper brakes, the correct rear axle ratio, and most important, the right size engine. One small mistake could cost you a lot of money and/or injury to you or your horses.
If you decide to rent a horse trailer or contract a person to move your horses, do a very careful safety inspection like you would if you were buying a used trailer. If you contract someone to move your horses, it still best to do a quick check on not only the trailer if possible but also the drivers experience.
