Do You Ride Horses? V.4

[Haze-L-Kitten]

That is a basic stock bumper pull trailer and it doesn't look like you have any solid or psychical barriers to separate the horses. If you slant load the horses four will definitely fit. You could possibly squeeze one more in there but that would have to be a good size pony, not a mini.

It would be a safe purchase if it has slanted dividers to separate each horse for a safe travel. Otherwise, I'd keep looking.

And I do have a question;; Has anyone ever had a horse delivered by a horse delivery service kind of thing? I'm thinking that would be easier than renting a trailer for my truck. Its also a p far drive.

Personally haven't, but know of enough cases to say do you research. Like unless you personally know a driver, ask people who have used such service for recommendations, since there are some fishy ones out there for sure. If it's under day haul, then likely nothing goes terribly wrong when it comes to taking care of the horses (though it's still good to know their equipment are good and safe and they drive nice), but it's nice to have a driver who sticks to schedule and lets you know if they are running late etc.

Agreed. And to add the front likely has some storage space for tack etc, which is separated by wall from the horse compartment as it should in that type of trailer imo.

@Hime

It has a tack space like a two horse straight load trailer would have. But yeah, I don't think we are gonna get it.

may be right thing not to take this one, looks not like one of the bether ones ...
maybe look at one with progresive floor, diagonal transportation with flexible partitions( most horses even those who hate trailer work nicely with diagonal travel...i think it is more easy to stand and feeling is bether for them ), back and front doors or when really need a door that can become a ramp to unlood horses trough the front or back exit of trailer, sliding widows with bars in front for protection so they cant jump out, light inside

i had a look ,as you seem to look for a bit bigger trailer...
--> maybe look into trailer like...fautras 4horses diagonal or the one for 3horses.(someone in old barn did own one when i remember right, that did look not bad)

or look into pinterest when you know this forum, there you could get an idea for some great to crazy horse trailer...from normal one to those with sleeping area or tent on top or side to a travel paddock set at the trailer and such. ...hope you find one and maybe even show your new trailer

I love riding big horses. I rode an jumped an oldie one day who was 18+. His name was Barclay but I would've named him Moose! <3 I feel so royal and regal riding them gentle giants.

I got a new pair of riding boots for my birthday about a week ago, and today was the only day with decent weather since then, so of course I had to try them out. We only have a pony and a Quarter Horse mare, and I don't do anything competitive, but it's always fun to take them out and ride them a little bit.

haha, the gelding i rode today's name was Merlin. i was pretty tempted to ride him with a light seat instead of a deep one, as he was much more bouncy than the pony i ride, digger. unfortunately digger got a abscess so his owner gave him the weekend off. merlin was such a sweet angel tho and his canter was sooo smooth and lovely
