Location: high desert, CA. | I would look to a dealer in stock type trailers, and one that is aluminum. (Dixie comes to mind, 877-694-5665). Then look to find one that is both tall enough, and probably will need to be a straight load, so you can get them comfortable. As the other poster has said, you will need to use your big truck to pull, and hope you have good luck finding what you need. |

Location: Ottawa, Illinois 61350 | We have had customers in the past use straight loads that are 7 wide, and 7'6" tall. Most of thiese will have a 7' length stall (from chest bar to butt bar, and 3' of head area. You can always order one and request more footage added. A bumper pull stock with a gate placed about 2/3 of the way forward in the trailer works well. Make sure you get a trailer with 5200# or 7000# axles under it, w/ 16" 10 ply rubber. When hauling drafts; you will need height, width, strong floor system and heavy axles and tires. |

Location: santa clara, ca | I have one draft about the same size as yours: we have a 3 horse GN slant with 50" wide stalls: they are adequate, optimally a few inches bigger would have been better.If they play nice with each other i would check for a stock type (although i hardly see them at 7'6"). Another option is to get a regular 3 horse slant and take out the first divider for the first horse and put the other in the last stall as it usually a bit bigger. (you can also take out all the divider and reweld the hinges right int he middle for two big stalls)I guess a lot depends on your price range |

| Hello, I have a 17-3 Hanoverian that I have towed with my 4 Star bumper pull. He weighs upwards of 1400 pounds and with another very large horse in the trailer, I have had no problem pulling them with a Yukon Denali or a Ford F 150. If you are interested, I just listed this trailer for sale last week. It's been used only a handful of times as I've switched barns and my new barn does all the shipping for us. Take a look. It's a 2008 and compared with a new one, there's a lot of savings. I'm in IL. http://www.horsetrailerworld.com/home/trailerdetail.asp?ID=416016 |

Check on the Hawk website. They build a XXL trailer, and will probably custom build whatever you want. Myself, if I had two horses that size, I would be searchig for a stout, heavy duty built all aluminum stock trailer, something suitable for hauling cattle. Some of these two horse trailers would split at the seams if a couple 2000# draft horses wanted to get a bit restless..!! |
