Almost any trailer company will work with any special orders and requests you have. I have seen several that will offer a rear and side ramp. I would look at the different brands to see which you like the best overall. Then have one ordered with the ramps.

I can tell your horses are huge...most Irish Sporthorses are...
I think you'll find your BEST luck with Turnbow trailers of Oklahoma. They are very rarely seen on the market because they are kept forever and when they do sell people at the barn are lined up before an advert can be placed. You'll find a top quality product that will stand the test of time. They are known for custom builds in the Sporthorse industry.

I looked at a 4 horse Elite a couple of years ago that had a front ramp on the left side, it covered the width of the two front stalls.
It DID answer most of the objection to slant load trailers that you have to take ALL the horses out to get the front one out, you could take out any one of three of them without moving the others.
If I wanted a slant I might have got it, though I s'pose there is a potential driver's side issue... I still prefer the center load with a ramp on each side.

I have a new Sundowner on my lot that is a 4 horse, 8'wide, side ramp at first two horses and rear ramp...plus~ the dividers are all double pinned, so you can take all the horses out the front. I am located in Leesburg, Virginia if you are interested and want more details. Email me at grandchampiontrailers@oldds.com.
