Top 5 horse trailers
You care about the comfort and safety of your horse, so why would you choose just any old trailer? Your horse is like a member of the family, so it deserves a high-quality trailer made for its comfort. We've reviewed the top five trailers to help you choose the right one for your horse:
- Hawk Trailers: Two-Horse Bumper Pull Walk-Thru Classic with Dress - Each one of Hawk's trailers is built with your horse's comfort and quality of travel in mind . They are versatile, durable and stylish. This two-horse trailer is the perfect size for most travel needs, and at 3,700 pounds it can be pulled easily by most SUVs. The five-foot dressing room contains saddle racks, bridle hooks and carpeted flooring for comfort. The base price for this model is fairly inexpensive at approximately $15,000 to $16,000. The best thing about Hawk Trailers is that they have no problem custom-designing a trailer for you.
- EquiSpirit Trailers: Two-Horse Standard Bumper Pull - This trailer has more standard safety features than any other trailer in its class. If you don't require a dressing room, then you'll enjoy the two-horse standard model because its lighter weight (2,700 pounds) and shorter length make it easier to pull by smaller SUVs and trucks. It also takes up less storage space. The trailer makes loading and unloading very easy and has lots of large windows for ventilation. The interior divider is removable, so you can create one large space. The base price is affordable, starting at just under $14,000. For additional fees, you can order the extra-large or double extra-large options.
- Platinum Coach: Four- to Eight-Horse Gooseneck Slant Load - Platinum Coach produces elegantly designed yet durable aluminum trailers, made with functionality in mind. The company offers a wide variety of larger trailers capable of holding up to eight horses. If you're hauling three or more horses, it's recommended that you get a gooseneck trailer. The slant load trailer design is oversized for larger horses which load side by side, and a dressing room is included. For towing, you'll need a heavy-duty truck or SUV to handle the extreme weight. A four-horse trailer will cost about $30,000, and larger models will be more expensive.
- EquiSpirit Trailers: Four-Horse Gooseneck Head-to-Head Center-Load - If you're carrying four large horses and you want them to have a safe and happy journey, then a center-loading, head-to-head trailer is the right choice. Each horse can be loaded individually, and they have unlimited head space so they can see each other across the trailer. The front horses are unloaded through the side ramps and the back horses through the rear ramps. You can work with either horse in the large center aisle. Weighing 7,420 pounds, you'll need a large truck or SUV to tow this trailer. This trailer starts at $31,800.
- Sooner Trailers: Three-Horse Gooseneck with 11-foot Living Quarters - Many trainers are on the road day and night with their horses. If this sounds familiar, then you might consider purchasing a trailer with built-in living quarters. A Sooner trailer will be your home away from home with a built-in living area featuring a bedroom, kitchen and washroom facilities. Rest easy knowing that your horses are safe and comfortable in the slant stalls. If you're looking for a top-of-the-line trailer, this is it - but it comes with a top-of-the-line price, too: $60,000 and up.
