I was just wondering if there is anyone who would be interested in trading a new/used living quarters horse trailer for my 1995 17 hand APHA Overo Gelding with over 250 points in 10 events and multiple top ten placings at the world show in the 14-18 huntseat and the over fences classes. very easy ride and has also been used for a walk-trotter. his name is "Red Christopher". see attached pic.
Just sort of feeling this one out, to see if there would even be onyone interested or if it would be easier to just sell him outright?

Hi and Welcome to the forum.
Briefly, I doubt it.
You would need VERY GOOD LUCK to find someone with the trailer you want who appreciates the value of the horse you're trying to trade. That person would have to be euqlly lucky to find you and the deal you're offering.
I suppose it is possible within a breed or discipline organization, but I think your chances are slim.
So... I think your other idea would be a lot more flexible. Convert him to dollars with someone who appreciates his value, convert those dollars to a trailer with someone who doesn't appreciate the value of their trailer - or who appreciates money more than their trailer.
