Location: MI. |  We have a about a $7,500 budget for an aluminum bumper pull 3 horse slant at least 7' tall stock/combo or horse with front tack. I am having a difficult time locating one within a 6 hour drive. Is the market really that strong for bumper pulls or is my budget too low? I just want a non rusting solid day runner. I am considering a Titan, but not sure. One of our horses is 16 hands and bigger bodied and I worry about her comfort. The Titan's stalls are 40 inches wide which is ok but the degree of the stall angle versus the width of the trailer itself is a concern. This "fun" adventure is turning into a headache. |

Location: Southwestern, Indiana | I would say the market is just that small. Most people that would buy a 3H BP aluminum with a front tack are using that as their 2nd trailer for short trips and around town. I wouldn't expect very many used ones on the market unless the person is getting out of horses. We looked around for 6 months trying to find a 2h Bp for my wife to use for taking her horse for lessons and training. Couldn;t find anything that was worth the money. We went ahead and bought a new Sundowner Sportman. It is a great little trailer and I don't see us ever selling it. If you could up your budget, bite the bullet and get a new one, it should last you forever! |

Location: Ohio | Off Topic: Have you ever seen Dave Ramsey speak in person? If not, it is well worth it. Probably one of the best speakers/communicators I've ever heard. His financial principles are awesome, but I've found some of them to be a little out of reach. |
