Location: NC | Has anyone ever added a tack compartment to a stock trailer? I am interested in a steel stock trailer that has a three horse slant with a dressing room but I would really like to have a separate compartment for the tack, is that something that is possible? is it really expensive or difficult? I was thinking rear tack... Thanks |

Location: western PA | It would depend on if you wanted the tack wall moveable and removeable or fixed. The latter would be quite easy and relatively inexpensive to build . A simple framework can be fabricated and welded of steel angle iron, and then surfaced with plywood. Saddle racks can be obtained from a number of sources. A moveable rack takes some engineering, and would cost more in materials and labour to fabricate, probably 2-3 times the cost of a fixed wall. |

Location: NC | Fixed would be fine. I thought it might be fairly easy for someone who welds. One thing I was wondering about was how to make it sealed. most stocktrailers don't have a back doors that really seal shut. any ideas there. The trailer I am looking at is an Adam stock/horse trailer like this one:

Location: cleburne texas | We have a friend that has a box that he bought and put in. It has it's own door. They open the stock gate, then open the tack door. My trailer is a 3 horse bp, rear tack has its own solid outside door, horse gate is seperate, looks just like a gooseneck from the rear. |

Do you know where your friend got the box? Or how he made it? Thanks
