Your Options

The easiest way to start narrowing down your options is to think about the size. Consider how many horses you'll be transporting at any given time and make sure you're choosing a model that can fit all of them comfortably. This won't just be about square footage, but also about weight. Starting with size can help quickly narrow down a wide range of options.

You can also think about towing options. Some models will come with gooseneck hitches (the kind that swoops up and into an open bed), while others employ bumper pull hitches (which stick out in front of the trailer, creating a gap between the two parts of the towing unit). The hitch might be decided for you, as some hitches are better suited for handling more weight, but the kind of driving you're comfortable with can also play a big role in what you choose.

Finally, consider the materials your horse trailer is made out of. A model made of steel will be more durable and capable of carrying heavy loads, but they'll probably be more expensive. There are also aluminum models, which are lighter and easier to tow. However, a more rambunctious animal might damage it accidentally. Considering what you want and what you need can help you sift through your options.

Key Features

There's more to a horse trailer than just what it looks like. You'll want to think about looking for additional features that'll keep your horses relaxed and satisfied. This should include a solid ventilation system. In the summer, an enclosed trailer can really heat up, so getting good airflow through the trailer is important.

You'll also want something that provides plenty of natural light. Just like humans, staying in a dark, enclosed space for an extended period of time can be stressful. Being able to see daylight can help alleviate some of this stress for the horses.

These are just a few of the more basic ways you can look for the right model, but eventually, you'll want to stop by your local horse trailer dealer to check out what's waiting for you right now.
