Whether you handle horses for competition or work, a new trailer can help you to transport the animals safely. When researching options, choose a retailer that allows clients to customize their design. Creating an enclosure to your exact specifications boasts the following benefits. 

Why Invest in a Customized Horse Trailer?

1. Prevent Vehicle Damage From Towing

If a new trailer is too heavy, hauling it could harm the transmission, tires, and suspension of the towing vehicle. When you customize the trailer, you can take the towing capacity of the truck and the weight of the horses and additional cargo into account. Based on this information, manufacturers will create a trailer that is light enough to transport using your current ride. 

2. Choose Loading Positions

When the trailer is customized, you can make allowances for your horses' personal comfort. For example, doors can be placed in specific locations depending on whether the animals will be traveling facing forward or backward. If you have multiple horses that often travel side-by-side, a straight load trailer might be best. You can exit through a door at the front. By contrast, horses stand at diagonal angles with one another in slant load trailers, which conserves space for more storage. 

3. Accessorize to Meet Horses’ Needs

Add built-in features specific to your needs. For example, if you often take your horses on long journeys, you can have your new trailer outfitted with water caddies to keep them hydrated. Window nets will allow your horses to get ventilation while still protecting them from road debris. You can also choose a locking mechanism that you trust is secure.
