Buyer’s guide to horse trailers

Share this:

Having your own equine transport can make all the difference to your life with horses. It gives you the freedom to go wherever you like — clinics, camps, competitions, you name it. But transport doesn’t come cheap, so do your homework before you buy.

No longer the poor relation of the horsebox, trailers now offer everything from streamlined bodies for easy towing, state of the art suspension systems for a comfortable ride, to live-in accommodation and much more.

The following questions will help you determine exactly what it is you want from a new set of wheels so that you can find the right trailer for you.

Licence requirements

The DVLA recently announced plans to scrap trailer tests in autumn 2021. Even when this new law comes into force, it is still important to have towing training so that you learn how to tow smoothly, safely for the benefit of your horse.

It will also help to keep you, your horse and other road users safe. As well as giving you confidence to be out on the road and able to reverse and hitch up/unhitch confidently.

What’s your towing vehicle?

All cars have a maximum recommended towing weight. This is usually listed in the vehicle handbook, or on the vehicle identification number (VIN) plate. When towing a trailer, remember that the weight of the trailer and its load must not exceed the maximum towing weight of the car, so check this before buying.

If your car can pull up to 2000kg and the trailer you’re thinking of buying has an unladen (unloaded) weight of 800kg then you can load no more than 1200kg in it, which includes everything — your horse, tack, food, water, fuel etc.

How does he like to travel?

Travelling facing forwards is the conventional way but you can now buy trailers where your horse travels backwards, with his quarters at the front and there are even ones that offer a herringbone set up — these are perhaps worth looking in to if your horse is used to this style of travelling in a horsebox.

Every horse is different and it’s a case of understanding what your horse prefers. Researchers at the University of Bologna in Italy and Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga, Australia*, studied horses in transit. They found that horses facing backwards and standing in wider bays show less signs of stress- and balance-related behaviours than those transported facing forwards and in smaller bays.

How do you want him to load?

Innovative ramp design has made the prospect of loading into a trailer far more inviting from your horse’s point of view. Instead of the traditional rear fold-down ramp, there are now American-style rear doors with a short pull-out ramp, not to mention rampless trailers, which allow your horse to step in and out with ease, eliminating the risk of slipping on the ramp.

Which other features are most important?

Modern technology and materials mean that safety is at the forefront of all the latest trailer designs. Quality rubber matting on the floor, while emergency-release breast bars are commonly found on many models and an aluminium floor adds strength and longevity compared to wood. Windows and vents are also key features to consider as they allow in light and air, making the trailer more welcoming for your horse.

What extras do you need?

Some trailers offer more space than others. If you’re likely to spend time away overnight with your horse, it’s worth considering how much a trailer has to offer in terms of storage and even living space. There are some trailers available that offer some pretty smart live-in accommodation and tack storage areas. Bear in mind that these features will up the price, and don’t forget to check their unladen weight.

9 tips for buying secondhand

A popular chic for many is buying a used trailer. Here are our tips for picking the right one:

• Make sure you inspect the trailer thoroughly or get someone more knowledgeable than you to do this for you
• Do what you can to check it’s not stolen
• Lift the mats and check the condition of the floor and ramps, prodding and poking to check for softness. Rotten, moist or damaged floors are dangerous
• Check that the electrics connection on the trailer’s lights to the car isn’t corroded
• Look at any hinges and springs: have they been greased recently?
• Ensure all tyres are in good condition and their pressure is correct
• Hitch it up and take it for a test drive to see how it handles
• Check that the ramps aren’t too heavy
• Ask to see any paperwork relating to servicing or repairs.

2020 Equi-Trek Trail-Treka L Excel

The Trail-Treka has been developed to offer the huge safety benefits of side loading in a lightweight horse trailer that can be towed legally and safely by smaller 4x4's and some cars.

The low wide ramp provides easier and safer loading as the horse is encouraged to enter a light and spacious area with less feeling of confinement. On many of our trailers the ramp is situated on the offside so that the handler remains between the horse and the exit whilst the horse is being secured. This reduces the risk of being trapped in a confined area by an excitable horse. Also, the horse is being lead from the nearside which most horses are more accustomated to, so this gives the horse more confidence when loading. Unloading is made easier because the horse exits the trailer by walking forwards down the wide ramp, eliminating the need to turn in a tight space or go backwards.
