Location: White Pine, TN | Heck, back in the 60's, & 70's that model and the 2H inline, that was pulled by your Cadillac, were extremely popular models. Stidham really made the inline popular along with the old Miley and McQuarry. We only had 1/2T trucks back then too. Easy to pull. Gas was probably 10 cents/gal then. |

Location: Kentucky | I believe that type of trailer is called a "neckover". Still made today by somebody, just saw a pretty new one running around here not too long ago. |

Location: Where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain... | That is the way it was built. There was a ton of them running around here when I was growing up. They were very popular in a bumper pull and gooseneck both. Here is what we had when I was growing up...just an older version. Ours was a Grunwald...I think.

Tresvolte, did you go look at the ad the original poster referenced? That was a 2h side-by-side (not inline) that looked like a BP except it had an extension out in front of it that hooked into the truck bed... ie a "neckover". The one you've posted here is an inline BP with an odd wheel setup. ;-) (How do those trailers turn? Do the front wheels turn?) |

Location: Newport News, VA | I have seen this trailer or one just like it on eBay a couple of times recently and thought how odd it was. Obviously, everyone else did, too, because it hasn't sold. I would think it would be tough to get a horse to go down that "long, skinny, dark hallway". |

Location: Where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain... | Yes. The OP was a side by side gooseneck. Like I said, there was a ton of them running around in Oklahoma when I was a kid. The pic is like what we had when I was kid. Never had trouble with loading horses in it. Plenty of light from the windows. Young horses we would open the feed door on the very front. There was no turning a horse around to lead them out. They all had to back out. The tongue swiveled and they were a pain to back up. Took a lot of practice. No tongue weight though and pulled straight and true. Anything could pull it. |

| Yes these trailers pull very well with no tongue weight. If built properly very easy to back up same as any other bumper pull. As soon as you start to back up you need to jack knife the front of trailer to lock in place then you back up as you normally would with the front wheels sliding |
