Hey,

I just wanted to let everybody know about what I found!  I had been looking at getting a portable corral panel for my trailer since I ride a stallion.  I was afraid of the ones I had seen on the Internet due to how light weight they were.  I went to the Utah Horse Expo and found Trail CorralTM, the answer to my search!  Trail CorralTM attaches to your trailer, is made of steel, easy to set up, no lugging or heavy lifting and can very sturdy!  After I bought my Trail CorralTM, I took one of my horses out that is very nervous when by himself, he usually paws and digs a hole when tied.  I was so amazed, he was wonderful, no pawing or digging.  He was calm and enjoyed being able to move around in his 12 x 12 corral stall.  I also took  my stallion to a show, thank goodness I had the Trail CorralTM, a  mare got loose and headed straight for the trailer.  I think Trail Corral is the best horse product since bell boots and hay nets!  I like mine so much that I'm now a rep so  Check it out at www.trailcorral.net or email me at  trailcorral@gmail.com

Check out my stallion at http://www.trailcorral.net/ under Stallion Services!Stallion Services

 Dealerships available!

Ditto.  Doesn't look like a bad product, but this website is supported by paid ads. 

Can't find any pricing info on your site, either.  Why would you start promoting your site without this?   People are lazy, might not contact you for more info.

I have not been responding for very long. I have been reading this forum for many years.  By making your 2nd post an ad Looks bad to me. The free flow of information made me want to be a part of this, not making a profit without doing the work. Call HTW pay for an ad make us respect you. Or get lost.

I can't find your add either!


On the other hand, I don't think I would want something hanging off the side of my trailer going down the road. Mine is 8' wide anyway with minimal fenders and drop down windows on both sides

I built my own potable panels out of sec.40 pvc and they are expandable and fit nicely in the bed of the truck or in the first stall of my trailer. and only weighs about 10 to 15 lbs per panel, so it is really easy for the better half to set up

I don't think I'd like my panels being attached to my trailer.  Last thing I want is a horse getting hung up and ripping off the siding...or choosing to roll right next to it and kicking the side!

Hey Sharon, Thank you for reading my post, I think is great that the people from the web site are protective of it but I would hope that it would be a kind place to post ads. Dave is building my web page and will be running my ads for Trail Corral. My web designer, bless her heart, that has been working on my page has had a major medical and lost of life experience and could not finish my web or ads for the Internet, which is why I was up so late last night trying to locate the webs that would be good to be on and a web designer. I am sorry if you were upset about my post but as I learn the web do's and don'ts and Dave gets my web stuff done, hopefully I wont get trashed so bad. I am by far not lazy as I do Open Hearts and am on call for emergency cases very often. I help out at local horse shows and volunteer for community events. I am not happy to spend so much time learning the web but I believe in Trail Corral as a product that helps keep my horse safe and more comfortable and wanted to let others know about it! Trail Corral was started after a barrel racing horse was badly injured by a horse that had gotten loose at an event. Thank you so much for your time and thoughts, Emily

I understand your concerns, but after having a friends horse (at an endurance race) try to lay down while tied to the trailer and cutting it's artery, (they couldn't get the rope cut), I feel that this is the best solution to a situation that will always have risk.  Every time you haul a horse, there are risk.  The Trail Corral has certainly protected my stallion and gelding from loose horses, plus they are more relaxed than when tied to hot trailer.  Thank you for your thoughts.  Have a wonder day!

The set up I built for myself only cost me $125.00 plus2 hours of my time.... No metal, nothing hagging off the side of the trailer either.... Mine is 5 panels that are 6' long that will extend to almost 12' long and either makes 2 12'x12 stalls or a 12'x36' stall or a nice size round stall.

Hey Tom-Tom,

I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, I am just getting my feet wet with forums and cyberspace.

The 3 panel system is $750.00 (plus S&H)(retail $899) which you can put on the side or off the back of your trailer.  With the Backdoor Style you have to be able to put one panel on one side and 2 the otherside.  A 5 panel system is $1150 ($750 + $400)(plus S&H).  This make a very large corral. Extra panels are $200 each.  Some people that have 2 horses are getting 6 panels and making 2 (12x12) stalls.

I hope that this helps.  I will post the configurations later tonight when I get back home.  Please bear with me until the web is up and finished, but I will send or post more pictures.

Thanks so much for  your interest!

I hope that you have a wonderfully safe and happy weekend!

Emily with http://www.trailcorral.net/ @ trailcorral@gmail.com

We are going to a mounted shooting Sunday and was going to set them up, I will get some pictures in the trailer and set up so I should be able to post them Sunday night.....

I just used 1 1/4" for the larger part and 1" for the small end so it will slide inside the large end.   I made my first set just over 4' tall with top rail and center rail.  Going to build a set next week with 3 rails for a friend.  Will be a little stronger and just a touch more weight.

Better half wants me to build more and smaller sizes and sell them.  All I wanted to do is make her something easy to set up when her and her friends go for the weekend instead of using portable electric fence. (some places are so rocky she can not put the step in post in the ground

Hey hogtownboss,I hope you have a great day at the mounted shoot! I would love to do that and my horse is really good about not spooking but finding the time to practice is a problem. I had a lady buy 2 Trail Corrals for her horse trailer today because she had neck surgery and is not suppose to lift (I told her she shouldn't be riding either (after her neck surgery) but she said she was just going to haul her horses and sit and watch at the shows...anyway...The things I like the most about this corral system is the no lifting, you don't have pack in then out of your trailer,(and then back in). You DON'T USE A BUNGY CORD TO SECURE to your trailer (IT SCARES ME TO SEE THINGS TIED WITH BUNGY CORDS GOING DOWN THE ROAD). It takes less than 3 min. to set it up. If my stallion will stay in and not tear up anything with mares tied 4-5 ft away...I'm happy! Oh, the other thing I like is that the legs are adjustable for uneven ground and that is important anywhere you go camping. You can also do several different configurations. I will up load some pictures of the configuration on my album listed under Trail Corral on this page. I hope Dave's group will get my web up and going soon so it will have this info on it.You can watch the video of how easy and quick they are to set up at http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=gmail&rls=gm&q=horsetrailcorr... You can search horsetrailcorral on Youtube if you don't want to type all that stuff in.Good luck on your Shoot! Look forward to seeing your invention.ThanksEmily
