Location: Boulder, CO | Hello,
I'm looking at used 4 horse head to head trailers (max 20k), and I was wondering if anyone has some recommendations on the brands to watch for. Here are a few I've run across:
'02 EquiSpirit (looks great)
'07 Cimarron Norstar (can't find reviews or much info on reliability/quality)
Many years of Sundowner from '99-'08 (frame problems?)
Exiss?
I'm having to search for trailers across the country since I can't buy new and it seems the head to heads are pretty rare. I need something for large show horses and mares with foals. Any suggestions, reviews, warnings, etc. would be greatly appreciated 38 | |

Location: Vermont | Here are a couple of 6 horse head to head that have been running as 4 horse head to head for warm blood sized horses...:) I have dealt with this dealership in the past and they were excellent...:) http://www.horsetrailerworld.com/home/trailerdetail.asp?ID=498341 http://www.horsetrailerworld.com/home/trailerdetail.asp?ID=487159... | |

Do a favor for yourself, don't look at less when more could be turned to less... Go 6h, just don't load the other 2 if you think your truck or what ever other reason wont let you transport 6. AND, a 6 horse trailer is really 7 horse, 3 in back, 3 in front and one in the middle, but a 4 horse is just that, a 4 horse.
Because of the 4h H2H trailer being shorter in length (some can be found as long as a 6 horse), the center section takes the hit for that extra horse and when needed, turn around space to back the horse up into the front stalls is much shorter.
With that, C&C would be my choice if buying new or used. (my post below)

Location: Boulder, CO | Thanks for the input. But, those larger 6 horse trailers are not in my budget. I'm not worried about my truck being able to pull the extra weight, more worried about my wallet and the fact that I probably wouldn't need the extra space for additional horses very often. I've heard with a 4-horse you can put another small horse in the middle section, is that not true?Thanks again for the help | |
