I’ve been thinking about a new (or at least new to me) horse trailer and wanted to get comments and opinions from ya’ll. Below is my wish list for features and options
Basic Type – 2-3 horse slant load, GN, dual axle, elec brakes with forward tack and storage/sleeping area, standard lighting, tack racks, drop downs horse windows and sliders in front area, etc
Use – Trail riding, camping, shows etc.
Special features desired – water tank for horses (some horses will only drink their home water), emergency side exit door for horses, load ramp, retractable awning,
Construction – I was thinking about a hybrid that had steel walls for strength since I’ve heard horror stories about horse injuries from actually kicking a hole in aluminum walls, a fiberglass top because the ones I’ve been in seem to stay about 10 deg cooler in the Texas heat, bolt on aluminum wheel fenders and ramp since these are high rust areas and also subject to impact damage. I have never actually seen one of this type construction.
