About Trainer Trailers
Transwest provides a full line of trainer trailers to transport your horses from shows, events, and barns. With brands including Cimarron, Exiss, Featherlite, Logan Coach, Sundowner, and more, we proudly distribute the best quality models to keep you and your horses safe on the road. For long trips or large loads, gooseneck trailers provide extra stability and a high weight capacity. Meanwhile, bumper pull trailers are cost-efficient, simple to haul, and ideal for first-time buyers or weekend trips.
Our trainer trailers come in both living quarters and non-living quarters. If you travel frequently with your horses to shows and events, the living quarters option is a perfect way to save money and enjoy the comforts of home on the road. For those who travel less frequently or need extra storage space, non-living quarters trailers are budget-friendly and have plenty of headroom for your horses.
At Transwest, we know how important it is to be ready to go at a moment’s notice. That’s why we offer maintenance services ranging from routine repairs to complete overhauls. We also carry a complete line of light-duty trailer parts and accessories. For your convenience, we offer financing plans through a variety of trusted partners. So, when you are looking for a single horse trailer or a rig to haul eight, there is sure to be an option for you.
How do I get my horse used to a trailer?
Getting your horse accustomed to being in a trailer will take time, so don’t rush it. Work in small increments and make sure to reward your horse for small victories along the way. Start by training your horse off the trailer to move forward with a tap from a training stick or your hand. Once it is responding consistently to these cues, move to the trailer and give it the same cue to move forward.
If your horse cannot go all the way to the trailer on the first try, don’t try to force it. It may lose confidence in you and develop a habit of resisting. Once it makes it into the trailer, reward it and let it relax. Don’t rush to close the door behind your horse the first time; in fact, it’s okay if the animal backs out the first few times. The more comfortable and confident your horse feels, the easier it will be to load in the future.
How do I load a difficult horse?
If a horse refuses to move forward or rushes backward on the trailer, they’re probably feeling nervous or don't fully understand your commands. The secret to loading a difficult horse is to take it slow and spend ample time on training outside of the trailer. Consider using a training halter to teach the horse to walk forward. Make sure that your horse has developed confidence in you, and that it listens to your commands.
Once you’ve established this, you can try to simulate a trailer-like environment before actually taking the horse to the trailer. Have your horse move forward and step over a pole onto a piece of wood or a mat. Once you’re ready to move to the trailer, practice a few times – and then call it a day. Remember that some horses take a long time to warm up to the loading process, even with professional trainers.
Which side of the trailer should my horse ride in?
This will depend on several factors: the type of trailer you have, the number of horses, and their weight. The general rule of thumb is to put the heavier horse on the left or the driver’s side of your trailer. Most roads are slightly higher in the middle than on the sides. Having your heavier load on the left side will give your trailer better balance.
If you have a straight load trailer, load the heavier horse on the left side. If you have a slant load trailer, put the heavier horse in the front. A single horse should be put in the front of a slant load trailer and on the driver’s side in a straight load trailer.
How long can a horse ride in a trailer?
Horses can typically ride in a trailer up to 8 hours (and no more than 12 hours) at a stretch. Make sure to stop and check on your horses at least twice during an 8-hour trip. Check 3-4 times if the trip is longer. Before you take a long-distance trip, take your horse to the vet to make sure that it’s healthy and current on all their vaccinations.
Equine professionals recommend monitoring your horses’ temperature, pulse, hydration levels, and respiratory rates during the trip. Make sure to bring all of your horses’ medications, first aid supplies, and emergency kits. After a long trip, horses should have time to rest. The ideal rest period can be anywhere from 3 hours to 3 days, depending on the length of the trip.
Should you tie a horse in a trailer?
It may be necessary to tie your horse in a trailer in some circumstances, though it is important to take proper precautions to keep your horses safe. If your horse is aggressive, tying it can keep your other horses safe and prevent damage that might be caused by an unruly horse. It can also keep your horses from injuring themselves on poles or barriers inside the trailer.
If you do decide to tie your horses, always be careful to leave enough slack to allow them to move about for balance, but not so long that it causes a tangle hazard. Ties that are too short might make it difficult for your horse to stand back up after a fall. A rope that’s long enough to rest on the floor could get wrapped around your horses’ legs. For additional safety, experts recommend untying your horse before you exit the trailer and properly training your horse to respond to exit cues.
