We spoke to
every horse owner before purchasing one year after horses were possessed by us
we understood about a horse trailer. We asked about the price, characteristics,
and edges. Ramp or step down? Straight-load or slant load? Fender-pull or
gooseneck? We spoke to salespeople, also. We contemplated the used alternative
in horse carriage melbourne.
Its saddle
storage and tack room in the back. It's aluminium lighter, with heavy duty
wiring and torsion-ride tandem axles for relaxation.
When considering
all the choices, think gross weight load of the vehicle and tongue weight, what
tows it. Gooseneck trailers involve the expense of having a gooseneck sphere
equipment installed below the instrument panel in the bed of the pick-up and a
brake module. The gooseneck redistributes the weight of the trailer equally
over the truck axles. Most horse owners tell us it's very hard to back fender-
pull on trailers.
An aluminium
trailer prices than its steel counterpart. There are hybrid vehicles with steel
frames and aluminium outside which can be midrange in price and are a great
compromise.
Consider sound
in the trailers. Some of the stock trailers we attempted had lousy flooring and
were incredibly noisy. And for relaxation of the horse, the straight-in trailer
is probably the most desired because the horse must compensate by acceleration,
deceleration and turn in a slant-load.
We needed a
ramp, but it'd have added the price of the trailer and a lot, so we elected for
a step up. Our horses load and unload fairly well with this, but there's
consistently a bit reluctance when they step off the trailer.
For security’s
benefit, you may need LED lights, security stripping, heavy duty, electric brakes
and a breakaway that halts the trailer in the event it comes from your towing
vehicle by itself. Interior lights and outdoor loading lights are a plus.
