Location: Maine | O.k, let me know if I am totally nuts here, several people on another forum basically said that I was. Anyway, I often haul my one horse to day trail rides in the state, and occasionally overnight trips. Whenever she doesn't have to work, I bring a friend to trail rides with me and she rides my other smaller horse(13.3h). I have another friend who trail rides, and it would be nice if I could take the third friend on a rare occasion. So, my thoughts are, that I was wondering if there is such a thing as a 3 horse slant (ramp load), that can be converted to being a 2 horse straight load when I don't need room for that 3rd horse. Right now, I have a 2 horse straight load, and I love it, except for the fact that the ramp is extremely heavy! I think the former owners reinforced it a bit too much. I do not want a stock trailer, I want an enclosed trailer. I live in Maine and regularly haul in -10 degree weather in the winter. I realize that in order for the trailer to haul 3 horses, it would be a bit longer than a normal two horse straight. Do they make dividers that can convert like what I am explaining? Does this make any sense at all, or I am I just dreaming? |

Location: sc | well i dont belive youre nuts, i dont know if anyone actually makes one, however with a plan, enough time, money and a good welder it wouldnt be a problem. the big question would be why? if your horses will haul in both a straight and a slant and you occasionally want a 3h slant, the conversion would have to be as long as a 3h slant so size cant be a consideration. why not just buy a 3h slant? i went from a 2h straight to a 2h slant a while back, i like it better and the horses load much easier for us, more room for them.

Location: Maine | I really haven't thought it all out yet, concerning the dimentions. I really don't want or need a huge trailer. I was basically just wondering if such a beast existed, or was even possible. I guess that I just would hate to get a big 3 horse, and end up just hauling one horse most of the time. And of course, money is always another consideration. The less I spend, the better. But thanks for letting me know I'm not crazy! And, thanks for the suggestions. |
