Here's a Calico 16' Stock trailer with the popular 7' height option. We decided to call this a Deluxe Stock to call attention to the fact that it has 7' interior height, floor mats, spare tire and some other niceties that usually aren't included in a standard stock trailer.
That 7' height makes this trailer suitable for horses as well as livestock, although among our clientele, it's most often purchased solely for horses. The versatile 16 footer is our most popular stock trailer. The 16' length offers two compartments of approximately 8 feet, so it can easily carry 2 horses in separate box stalls or up to 4 smaller horses (just make sure they get along, since there will be no stall dividers for 4!). The 16' body length is large enough to do a wide variety of hauling jobs yet compact enough for easy handling. At an empty weight of approximately 2560 lbs., you don't need a huge vehicle to pull this trailer.
This particular one has a body width of 6 feet, but Calico offers a variety of lengths, widths and heights, in bumper pull or gooseneck hitch.
Calico's been building high quality, affordable trailers since 1983. Part of the appeal of a Calico is its functionality and part of the appeal is appearance. The Calico rounded nose looks good, but it also splits the air as you go down the road. Another aspect combining looks & function is the finish. Calico's multi-step prep, prime & paint process produces a glossy finish. For quite some time, they've been caulking seams to minimize the chance of rust formation in areas where it's hard to get paint to penetrate. In 2016, they took things a step further and went to a urethane paint with hardener. In our experience, their acrylic enamel held up well, but Calico's testing showed that the new urethane with hardener should be even more durable and resistant to abrasion and chipping.
Per our standard practice, this trailer is better equipped than many stock trailers you'll find. In addition to the extra height, this one has BRAKES ON BOTH AXLES (brakes on one axle are standard on Calico, but we specify brakes on both axles for added safety), a spare tire & more.
