About Horse Trailers

Trailers used to transport horses have been around since the 18th Century, although those early versions were often open-air trailers pulled by other horses and made primarily of wood, and they did little to protect the horse or provide a smooth, stress-free ride. Among the earliest models were horse-drawn ambulances used by fire departments and armies to transport wounded horses. Depending on geographic region, a horse trailer can also be referred to as a “horse van,” “horse float,” or “horsebox.”

Common Horse Trailer Features

Unlike livestock trailers, which typically have slatted sides for airflow, modern-day horse trailers are designed for the comfort and safety of the horses being hauled, with adjustable vents and windows and suspension systems for smooth rides. New and used horse trailers for sale are most often bumper-pull or gooseneck models in a variety of sizes for transporting one to eight or more horses and come with either a ramp or a relatively low-height floor for easily loading. Horse trailers with living quarters include kitchens, bathrooms, sleeping quarters, and living areas designed for the horse owners to stay in while at a horse show or on the road.

Featherlite horse trailers come standard with safety features such as cushioned rubber floor mats and spring-loaded slam latches, while Sundowner notes that its all-aluminum horse trailers are designed to be cost-effective without sacrificing features or quality.
