Location: Lincoln, NE | Maybe an RV with horse quarters on the back? I know you can get toy hauler RVs so why not horse haulers. The horse area would need to be reinforced I would think with tougher, stronger contruction on floors and walls, etc. Horses can be incredibly strong.

| Yeah, that is what I was thinking, something like that. I thought I had seen something like that at one time here in the states. |

Location: western PA | There are horse vans that are commonly used. They are built on a long wheelbase truck chassis, and vary in sizes and capacities. You see them on the race tracks and shows. Here's one builder: http://www.frankdibella.com/CustomVans.shtml Gard |

| I had seen a toy hauler, and thought, that would be nice to have a horse hauler, but like someone said, it would need to be beefed up, and that would make it a heavier unit, and then you would need a bigger truck engine to pull it. Oh well, it was fun to think about it. When I win the lottery, I want to buy a nice truck & trailer and hire a driver. THAT is the ticket for me!! LOL |

Location: Delaware | I remember coming across an old Western Horseman magazine a few years ago that was dated back in the seventies. Why I remember all this is that flipping thru the magazine there was a dealer add for a camper/horsetrailer. The picture showed a full 5th wheel camper with a horse area in the back. Just like the Toy haulers today. It had a ramp with 2 or 3 horse straight load and a walk thru door to the camper area. |
