Location: Texas | I have been searching for a LQ trailer that will haul my golf cart and 3 horses. Need the trailer to be 7'6" tall at least. Has anyone found anything like this? Seems if I go slant load, I must have a 6 horse to fit the golf cart. Was wondering about stock/combo. I don't want to pull a trailer behind the horse trailer because I don't think that is safe in an emergency. I don't want to pay to have a custom built trailer as we have coach for long hauls. Just need decent LQ for daughter & I for the smaller shows. |

Location: Ottawa, Illinois 61350 | The stock combo trailer is a good way to go when trying to multi-use your LQ trailer. Used ones are difficult to come by, but the 2+1 straight load trailers also work well; but finding a used one with LQ is even more difficult than finding a stock/LQ trailer used. I sent you a couple of PM's with some ideas. |

Location: albany, ga | I had the same issue and ended up having a 2+1 custom built. It only took about 6 weeks to get it and it has worked out real well for me. I have an 8*8 box stall in the center that fits the golf cart plus all of my other equipment, feed, hay etc.. I also have a friend that has a 4H slant LQ with a large mid tack that fits her golf cart. These type of trailers are hard to find, but there are a few out there. |

Location: Canada | Has anyone ever seen a 8' wide LQ trailer with a 3 across the back (straight load) design with a side ramp? I guess it would be a 3+1. That would solve our issues! We are in a similar boat, want a 12'+ LQ and somewhere to stick a golf cart.
I figure something like that would be very popular, but maybe the placing of the axles would impede that design. Seems like our best option now is to just buy a second truck and a trailer with a 2+1 design, and then at least we have the option of taking 2 more horses to shows. |

| I ordered my trailer with a straight wall instead of a slant and as a result I have a bigger first stall that is sort of pie shaped.. we stuck a 4 ft wide ramp on the curb side on it so that we could load or unload ATV, motorcycles..not sure but perhaps could get a golf cart in there.. trailer is 8 wide.. 7 tall... haven't used it yet for that stuff but it does come in handy for loading up corral panels and tack, equip.. |

Location: Farmington, IL 61531 | I have a Featherlite 2 horse 8552 with a 54" short wall that was setup new to do something similar to what you are asking for. The trailer has a ramp on the back and a door in the wall between the stalls and the front. The door is big enough to drive a four wheeler through. The guy who bought the trailer new used it for elk hunting and would load the four wheeler and his gear in the front then load the horses and hit the road. The trailer also has a Patio Room that sets up under the awning with screens and drop down curtains for camping. Works out pretty good except it does not have a bathroom, shower or A/C. |

Location: Nashville, TN | Look for a show cattle trailer with LQ. I don't know how wide or long your Golf Cart is but most show cattle trailers have at least a 4 ft ramp on the curb side. I pull a ATV straight in and put 3 horses behind the cut gate in the stock compartment. I have a 10 ft LQ up front. |

Location: Texas | I am still looking for the perfect trailer. Seems nearly impossible to find one capable of hauling horses, golf cart and a decent LQ. I will settle for 2 horse, if anyone has some good leads. |

This trailer may be too narrow for a golf cart to fit cross ways.... http://www.horsetrailerworld.com/home/trailerdetail.asp?ID=370642
