I am in the market for another trailer. I currently own a cornpro gn 3H stock combo. This is a nice trailer and I really like it, but my daughter is leaving for school and I am downsizing a bit so I was looking to purchase a good 2H TB size trailer with a DR. Unfortuantely this seems to be a very hard used trailer to find in my price range. Because I have a large horse that really is too big to slant anymore and is rather tall, I hoped to get a trailer over 7ft. Everything I have looked at is junk with major rust on the frames - totally unsafe without a major overhaul. I saw an ad for an eclipse 2H trailer on special that is seriously close to my price range. Any experience with this brand of trailer? Has anyone bought a TB trailer w/out the dressing room? I would be afraid my gear would be moving all over during trailering and/or the horses could chew on my saddles on the racks mounted in the front of this type of trailer.

I don't think it makes financial sense to downsize when you like what you have and you are not really downsizing much. Witha stock combo and switching to an enclosed you are probably not going down much in weight either. Just my opinion so take it for what it's worth but it is hard to find a nice 2 horse in good condition.

I would keep what I have, but darn horse is getting too tall and long for slant load. I have another big one that I can't fit in the trailer easily if I take up 2 spots for the big guy. I would love to have another stock/stock combo, but nothing comes in a taller size without a special order and then the cost really goes up. Right now my 3H slant has become a very large 1 horse trailer that is really not tall enough for my young guy anymore.

Pull out both partitions and then it should work for 2 large horses.
