Hi and Welcome to the Forum.
You'll get a lot of OPINION on here, various religious beliefs too.
Here are mine on THIS subject (-:

Slant Pros;
1) Can build in a camper section, if you want to sleep with the horses.

Head to head Pros;
1) Can get 6 horses in IF you go for a full 8ft wide.
2) More "Face space" for the horses.
3) Forwards unload at center ramps.
4) Horses in or out in any sequence.
5) Typically can convert to a 4, 5, or 6 horse, or 2, 3 & box stalls.
6) Straight load, straight travel, facing backwards for half of them.

Cons;
Slant or H2H.
Whatever you view as negative.

Welcome to the forum!

You may want to do a search of slant load and straight load threads on this forum. There has been lots of discussions on this topic.If you have large horses, watch the actual length and width available in some slant loads. Good luck!
