Location: Little town in Pa | My husband and I are looking into a 2 horse with a small LQ and room for dog boxes. Anyone have any creative ideas that work well? I am thinking of a 2 horse slant with a rear tack and mid tack for the dog boxes but I am trying to keep the length of the trailer as short as possible. Thank you for any ideas. |

Location: Farmville, VA | We pulled a custom designed 2 horse straight load Sundowner Sunlite for years (15 to be exact!)that was equiped with 4 dog boxes. If your worried about length, I would stick with a straight load. The dog boxes were stacked, 2 per side under the manger area. They were not vented well enough for us, so we just used them as storage and kept kennels in the back. I would add the ability to have vents come from the top for more air. If you let me know your email address, I can send you a picture of our old trailer and can tell you how I would modify it. Leon Barker in NC has done a few of these trailers in new models. Lots of field trail/bird dog trailers in this area! Good luck! |

Location: Rocky Mount N.C. | These folks build a trailer like that.... #85 on this page, http://www.goretrailers.com/options.htm don't see any pictures though. Maybe you could talk to them and get some ideas. A friend of mine has a 3 horse Elite GN with stock sides, a 6' straight wall DR, a huge mid tack with walk in doors on both sides. They built 9 dog boxes on the back wall of the mid tack (3 high, 3 wide) out of wood. Trailer is 8' wide , 7'6" tall. They have a roof mount exhaust fan along with a A/C unit for the dogs, thats seperate from the DR area.
