Mostly we sold it because we live on the coast and the salt water termites (rust) will chew up a steel trailer pretty fast. Our barn wasn't tall enough for it to fit in and it was either spend the extra money on a trailer stall - or just get aluminum and forget the cover. The trailer was very comfortable to pull - didn't bump the truck around a lot. The hay in the tack area was a big issue though. Even after a short hall, it was a mess if we put hay in the manger. Also, unless you rigged a system, there was no way to lock tack in the tack room. There are 3 ways in the tack room. The front of the trailer and the two doors from the horse compartments. We didn't realize how much of a pain the tack area was until we got a trailer with the separate tack area. It was soooo much easier to take care of. Other than the above, the trailer was great. And as I said before, the horses didn't mind the ride at all! But again, that's just my experience. Good luck! |
