| Hello all -- I would appreciate any advice. I have a 2002 Trail-et Jetstar 3-horse slant load. Since purchasing the trailer, I've moved to warmbloods and they don't fit! I'm ready to buy a new trailer, and am considering a 2+1 that converts to 2 boxstalls. It needs to be a gooseneck with a dressing room, and I'd prefer the side and rear ramps. Besides advice on any particular models, I could really use some generic advice, as I don't know enough about towing difficulties with this type of set up. Please note that I am open to all suggestions. I don't haul often or far. |

Location: Rocky Mount N.C. | Welcome to HTW...!! How much truck do you have? 2500, 3500, 4500 more?Could you pull three box stalls with a dressing room? I pull a trailer like to this one with a GM 3500 dually. http://www.horsetrailerworld.com/home/trailerdetail.asp?ID=279923 If you liked your Trail-et, then you may like the 3 horse walk thru Hawk... They are not much longer that your Jetstar, about 5 and a half foot. http://www.horsetrailerworld.com/home/trailerdetail.asp?ID=274149 http://www.horsetrailerworld.com/home/trailerdetail.asp?ID=284230 Jetstar...

Thanks for the replies. I have a 2008 2500 Chevy PU. Living in Colorado, with a 2500 you want to limit yourself to a true 2+1 design..something like this... http://coasttocoasttrailer.com/horse-trailers-for-sale-details.asp?... if you could find a used C&C 2+1, you'd also be very happy...

Location: Colorado | With a 2500, I'd probably look for a 2+1 trailer, too. I pulled a 4 horse head to head for years, and really liked it, but it's too much trailer for a single rear wheel pickup. Are you on the front range, or over on the west slope? |
