About 1-2 Horse Trailers
Transwest is your one-stop resource for 1-horse trailers and 2-horse trailers, plus parts and accessories. We understand the importance of keeping your trailers running at peak performance, and that’s why we proudly distribute the best. Our Non-Living Quarters Horse Trailers are comfortable, budget-friendly, and provide ample space for your horses, gear, and storage. Our Living Quarters Horse Trailers give you the ability to stay on location at shows and events, saving money and time while providing you with convenience and creature comforts.
Non-Living Quarters Horse Trailers come in both bumper pull and gooseneck styles, while Living Quarters trailers come in the gooseneck. If you’re looking for a trailer that is convenient and doesn’t require much in the way of special equipment, choose a bumper pull horse trailer. These are generally less expensive than gooseneck trailers, and they allow you to get great fuel mileage with a low cost of ownership. If you’re looking for exceptional towing stability and higher weight capacity, choose a gooseneck horse trailer.
Our 1-horse and 2-horse trailers are here to support you on your equestrian adventures and help you choose the style that suits your needs. We are also a proud distributor of hitches, Trailer Saver products, Dexter axles, Bull Dog products, Firestone air springs, Tekonsha brake controllers, and Equalizer electric jacks, among many other products. If you have any questions or want to get started, simply give us a call today.
How do I choose a 1-2 horse trailer?
1-horse and 2-horse trailers can vary in size and style, from bumper or gooseneck pull types to living quarters trailers. Your priority should be the comfort of your horse. Take stock of the size (height and weight) as well as the breed of your horse. It’s important that your trailer is large enough for your horse to move around. You want to make sure it is not going to restrict your horses, making them uncomfortable and cramped. Look for a trailer that provides enough ventilation through windows and roof vents. Keep in mind that certain trailer styles (such as bumper pull) are more affordable and well-suited for small trailers, while others (such as gooseneck) offer a stronger hitching style and can be easier to tow.
Can anyone tow a horse trailer?
Whether or not you need a license for your horse trailer usually depends on two basic things: the size and weight of your trailer, and your purpose for driving. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), you are susceptible to some restrictions if you are pulling a horse trailer for business reasons. That includes work such as professional horse racing or horse transportation companies.
However, horse shows or trail rides are not included in this category. In that case, you need to factor in your Gross Vehicle Weight Restriction (GVWR). Keep in mind that the requirements may vary by state, so we highly recommend that you check with your state or local authorities for the most relevant licensing information.
What towing capacity do I need for a horse trailer?
The towing capacity you need for your horse trailer depends on the size of your horse, your trailer, and your tow vehicle. First, it’s important to choose a trailer that will allow sufficient room for your horse to move around and stay upright. Don’t forget to factor in the height of your horse as well as its center of gravity. Remember that your horse will certainly be shifting around in the trailer during your drive, so you want to make sure that it can balance.
Factor in the weight of the gear and accessories you plan to carry in the trailer as well. Use all of these factors to calculate the average weight of your ride, and then add that to the weight of your trailer. Then, look for your vehicle’s towing capacity to be sure that it matches the total weight that you will be hauling. You should be able to find your vehicle’s towing capacity in your owner’s manual.
Should I get a straight load or a slant load horse trailer?
You can load more horses into a slant load trailer than the same sized straight load trailer. There is generally more storage space for equipment, tack, and dressing rooms in slant load trailers, and your horses can turn around inside the trailer and walk out head first.
A straight load trailer (also called a walk-through trailer) is usually taller and has more of an open-concept feel inside than its slant load counterpart. This can be more comfortable for horses with claustrophobia. Some straight load trailers come with a walk-out door so you can unload one horse without removing all of them. It is also usually easier for horses to balance when the trailer is moving because in slant load trailers they have to rely on dividers to keep their balance.
Are bumper pull horse trailers safe?
Yes, a bumper pull horse trailer is completely safe. It is hitched close to the vehicle using a bumper hitch, and this can make it easy to make sharp turns. Because the bumper pull trailer is typically smaller than a gooseneck trailer, you can pull it with a smaller vehicle. This will save you money on gas. It’s very convenient to tow as well.
When using a bumper pull trailer, it’s important to make sure that it is hooked up correctly to the tow vehicle. The tongue on your trailer will attach to a ball hitch on the back of your towing vehicle. Depending on the size and weight of your trailer, you may be able to tow it with an SUV or even a motorhome.
