Buying Guide to Horse Trailers

Every horse owner needs a horse trailer. Even if you don’t take your horse to competitions or on out-of-state riding adventures, you’ll still want to have a trailer in case you move or need to take your horse to the vet. A horse trailer allows you to do this easily and conveniently while ensuring that your horse is secure.

Connecticut Trailers, located in Bolton, is proud to be your New England horse trailer dealer. Read on to learn more about how to purchase the right horse trailer for your needs.

Types

There are a few types of trailers available for horses and you’ll want to choose one based on how they are towed. Gooseneck horse trailers are anchored to a coupling that’s installed in your truck bed, which limits the types of towing vehicles that can be used. However, these horse trailers are also more stable to tow and can handle heavier weights.

Tagalong trailers anchor to the hitch on your vehicle’s bumper so they’re easy to use and can be connected to a variety of different passenger vehicles, including SUVs and vans. These trailers cannot handle as much weight, though, and are prone to swaying in high winds.

Features

Horse trailers come with a lot of features designed for your animals’ comfort and security. Here are a few crucial features you’ll want to look for when shopping for the perfect horse trailer.

First, you need to make sure that the horse trailer has plenty of room for your horse to move about comfortably. When traveling in a trailer, horses will take on a wider stance in order to remain upright while the vehicle is in motion.

Second, sufficient airflow is important for your horse’s health. Ensure that the horse trailer you choose has lots of vents on the sides and at least one up front and one at the rear. More vents are always better!

Third, you’ll want a trailer that is bright inside. Horses are frightened of dark rooms and may become stressed when you try to load them into a dim trailer. Find a horse trailer with lots of windows for natural light and also an artificial light option for when it’s darker outside. A light-colored paint should also be used on the interior walls of the trailer.
