I just bought a used trailer that needs a little updating and am looking for a place to order accessories. Quality is paramount. Specifically looking for butt/breast bar pads, side wall pads, dressing room/horse compartment door latches (the ones I find are not like on my trailer, which are very standard), bridle hooks, interior lighting, etc. Thanks for your help!

I would google "Hart Trailer sales" and see if there are any dealers in your area. A Hart dealer will be able to supply you with the exact type/style latches and accessories you need. A dealer that carries other brands might also be able to help you - many options are fairly standard and can work on different brand trailer.
I bought my used Featherlite from a dealer who sells new and used Featherlites as well as several other brands. They carry in stock everything from stud walls, light fixtures, latches, etc and they can order in anything they don't have in stock.

For bridle hooks I might suggest a hardware store...look in the section with garage organization. I put in a bar (for lack of a better work) that allows me to use multiple types of hooks, work great and looks good to.

Our local trailer dealer / repair shop has a great selection of everything from latches to divider padding. Hinges, lights, you name it. You might check at your local dealer. For bridle racks, I got a nice one at Tractor Supply that was just like the one in my trailer, for much less than any place else. But bar pads can be made pretty easy. Sewing a cylinder out of nagahyde etc. and slip it over a chain running through one of those kids pool noodles.
