I'm in the market for a small(er) 2 horse trailer just to run to the vet, state parks & what not. Found an ad for a Thoroughbred trailer that would probably fit my bill. I've not heard of the brand before (I wonder if it is a division of a Brand name manufacturer?).
Has anyone heard of the brand - what can you tell me about them?

Some mfg's call them Thoroughbred, some call them Warmblood... I call them a 7'6" tall two horse straight load with a full escape door on both sides, no mangers.... Something like the ones pictured below. Some have dressing rooms, some are gooseneck.

As JJ stated, it's a type of trailer, not a brand. In addition to a straight load, it can also include a slant load trailer, BP or GN.
Basically, the trailer will have larger sizing for the stalls. The widths will be wider, typically in excess of 40". The stall lengths will generally exceed 10', and as was previously stated, the interior height will be at least 7 1/2' to the bottom of the roof.
Almost any manufacturer will build you a trailer to these specification, straight load, slant load, GN or BP.

I have a bit more information now. These folks don't seem to know what they have, but I made out a Circle S decal in a photo. Sooo..any word on a Circle S trailer, Thoroughbred model?
