Types of Trailers

One way to categorize trailers is by the method used to tow them. Gooseneck trailers get attached to part of the pickup truck's bed. This limits your selection of tow vehicles to only pickup trucks. But you gain better stability while towing and can carry more weight inside it.

Tagalongs attach to the hitch on the tow vehicle's frame, making them easy to hitch and unhitch. You can connect them to pickup trucks, minivans, SUVs, and even RVs. The main downside to this type of trailer is that they cannot handle as much weight.

Another way to categorize horse trailers is by their material. Steel trailers are durable and heavy, making them capable of carrying heavier loads. Aluminum trailers, in contrast, are light and brittle. They can get damaged easier by your horses so they are not a good option for rambunctious animals. The light material does make for easier towing by smaller vehicles. Whichever material you choose, make sure it is coated with an anti-corrosive material. Otherwise, steel can rust and aluminum can corrode.

Horse Trailers Features

Horse trailers are more than portable empty silver boxes. They offer a range of amenities. There are a few basic ones you want to prioritize. First, you want a trailer with plenty of room. Horses like wide stances to feel stable in a moving vehicle.

Second, you want plenty of vents to ensure proper air flow. Look for at least one in the front, one in the back, and a few on the sides. But more is great!

Third, the inside of the trailer should feel bright. Entering a dark room can cause stress for your horses. Look for windows that let in natural light, artificial lights installed inside, and a light color interior paint.

Budget

Horse trailers are fairly significant investments that you'll want to last for a long time. Setting a realistic budget for what you can afford is a great way to make sure that you get exactly what you need for a price that fits you! This will help you remove models that aren't going to work for you and get a more clear picture of what you should look at purchasing.

If your budget is larger, look at horse trailers that can handle larger numbers of animals or that provide extra features. It doesn't hurt to have more comfort features or a more impressive trailer design, if money can afford it!

A quality horse trailer can last years (and even decades), so it's worth the time investment to find just the right trailer.
