WE run Florida Draft Horse Rescue and have a Trail Magic 3 horse slant load trailer a 93 year. ONe of the window hinges broke and the window fell while going down the road, it was run over and is unable to be salvaged. We are trying to find out how to replace that window. I understand trail Majic has gone out of business, we do not have a shop here who can make a replacement window.... We are at a loss... Anyone please help if you have any ideas, We are a non profit and we take in horses who are in the slaughter pipeline headed to canada for processing as meat. We retrain, and rehab the horses and help them get homes as riding mounts so money is tight we do no have the funds to go otu and buy another trailer. Any help is greatly appreciated

I would suggest that you talk with a trailer repair shop or trailer manufacture in your area and see if they can modify the opening to accept a standard sized window or build a custom window to fit your trailer. It's not really practical for somebody over the internet to try and give you a repair for some thing they have not seen.

Well we were hoping that by reaching out over the net someone would have a old trailer that we could buy a window from, or have an idea to replace the window. We have spoken to a repair shop that is where the trailer is now and to manufacture a window that will fit is going to run us 500 plus. Does anyone know of the equal of a horse trailer junk yard? I know the window is 32x20. Our intention by opsting this was to hopefully come in contact with someone who has had a similer experience or knows of who does repairs on a trail magic trailers as the company is out of business.
