Is there anyone or any place that deals with these?

It is an all in one vehicle, not a "pull behind" trailer, the horses load right into it from either side or the rear, you simply hop in & drive away.

We have one and are seriously considering selling it or trading it and honestly, we have no idea who deals with them. It really is a great way to haul horses, however, we no longer travel with our horses the way we use to and really have no need for it anymore. Actually, I think we have used it twice in the past 24-30 months. I can't see it simply wasting away when someone could possibly get much more use out of it than we are.

The box is great, roughly 8 ft high X 9 ft Wide X 20 ft long with adjustable wood dividers, interior lights, electric outlets, opens on both sides with one solid door & one split door, double doors on back open up the entire width of the box, ramps come complete with sides for loading which is great protection just in case. There are also storage boxes along the bottom of the box. The over length is possibly 28-32 ft.

I would appreciate any information anyone may have on these.
Thank you

Sometimes I have seen horse vans for sale on e-bay.

You may want to place an ad here. The Chronicle of the Horse is another option. The forum on that publication's website has had quite a few horse van threads in the past.

If your van is a Frank Imperatore or other well-known "brand," it should sell if priced in line with its age and condition. If it is a home-made creation, it is likely to be a tougher sale.

How old is your van? Mileage? Manufacturer of the truck? Manufacturer of the box?

Good luck!

We will be listing one for sale as well soon, seemed like a good idea at first but I just don't like it. I want a six horse instead.
