Location: Minnesota | That is really different! Looks like horses can back out maybe easier since they don't have to turn. Not sure, but it looks like a door latch on inside wall, lower panel, head side. I would hate to think about replacing the LQ door and hope it wouldn't leak. Do the horses also lose head room with the tapered wall/roof? That would concern me.

Location: lyle,mn | That is a very different looking trailer. Wonder if it pulls easier against a head wind? Looks like a inside compartment door storage inside the horse part of the trailer. |

Location: Western WA | Says in the description the spare tire is stored inside the horse area. Maybe that access door is for the spare tire? Sure doesn't seem very convenient to me if that's the case..... |

Location: Illinois | Saw one at the High School National Finals Rodeo in 2001. Was checking in horses and got to look in side but don't recall just what it looked like. Yep, they were from Canada |

Location: Texas | I saw one in person in western North Dakota a few years ago. The owner let me snoop around a little bit, and I liked what I saw a lot. If Airstream had made a horse trailer, I figure they would have come up with something similar. Every once in a while, you see a Heartland come up for sale on HTW. |
