It is what it is

Old horse trailer (needs work) - $350

1969 old horse trailer. Needs repairs to get it going for use. We have not had it very long and just have replaced the floor boards inside. We where going to use it for my horse, but do not have time to fix it up so, here it is for a project. We are selling it for the same price we bought it for or less, even though we did redo the floor boards. Please do not write and ask me what all it needs done to it. I think that a horse trailer that is this old and says it needs work is self explanitory. And for this price also. It is what it is. $350. obo. two horse straight load bumper pull. 6' 2" from floor to sealing for height . Thanks (WA)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's amazing how many people buy project trailers only to find out just how much work there is to do.

I like dots.................................and goats and dogs

Nothing wrong with the trailer - just a strange use of punctuation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another one that has too many zeroes in it?  People really need to check not only the spelling of their ad, but to make sure they have the right price.   I would say they meant $12,900. 
Does 4,800 lbs seem a bit high for a 2H aluminum GN with a simple DR?

Tiny Gooseneck

gooseneck trailer perfect for a light truck (NC)
Great pulling (2) horse trailer with tack storage compartment. This trailer was sandblasted to the metal last year, primed and painted inside and out. Has good wood floors and mats. Has a divider for the center but I never used it. Escape doors on both sides, can be completely enclosed or remove the upper back enclosures as I do for Summer use. Great brakes, good tires, well balanced and easy to manuver.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What a cute little GN trailer.  Smallest one I have seen so far.  It appears the only storage is in front of the mangers.

$60K - I don't think so

2 HORSE TRAILER - $60000

GOOD TIRES,GOOD FLOOR,READY TO WORK

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Unless the floors are made of gold, the price is way out of line!!!  LOL  I'm sure they meant $600.

Train Your Horse

Updated with larger pictures:

 

What's covering his nose?  I wonder what they are measuring?

From the website:

Roush Technologies has just completed a groundbreaking bespoke vehicle project for Turkish-based, Kurt Systems – a world leader in racehorse and camel training equipment. The ground-up, turnkey project involved the design, development and build of a highly complex mobile race trainer which enables continuous monitoring of the animal at speeds of up to 60kph.

The striking and unusual looking machine incorporates a number of innovative and unique vehicle systems, as well as a diesel engine, automatic transmission and a spacious luxury cabin for a crew of three. Weighing in at around 4 tons, the vehicle effectively provides a moving enclosure similar to a starting stall, in which the animal can walk, trot or full gallop freely in a controlled environment, whilst being monitored and trained to optimize race performance.

Gorgeous TB mare FREE TO GOOD HOME (MA)
Beautiful black TB mare seeking a new owner.
Wonderful lofty gaits, correct on the bit. Transistions GREAT. Excellent brakes. Stands between 15.3 and 16 hands. Registered but I do not have papers. Not hot at all-I have to carry a dressage whip when training her (I dont need to use it though). Breaks at the poll, bends AWESOME both directions, we've started leg yielding.
Great opportunity for a young adult or teen (no kids as she is some what large in the height department), adult and confident beginner. Loves the farrier, great for the vet and so quiet in the trailer you don't know she is there. Fully UTD on her Coggins and shots, shoes were done this Tuesday.
Came off the track early this summer and is currently in training. She will excel in the pleasure ring. Great partner for trail riding.
I am seeking a new home as I adopted her, rehabbed her and trained her so far & she is not a jumper (but I am!) but would be unbelievable as a western pleasure mount as well.
Please, no dealers. Have a personal referance as well as a vet referance and a stable lined up for her. No kids responding either.
Also, I will not send you a wire transfer, i have NO dead rich relatives who need western union, I'm not Nigerian. Do not spam me. Thanks.

What a cute mare - nice soft eye and kissable nose.  LOL

She is on the Boston, MA listings if anyone is interested.

Save Your Shortbed Truck

An extension for your GN - allows your GN to be 9" (or more) further back in your truck bed while maintaining the proper weight distribution.  Increases the distance from your GN to your truck rear window and increases the distance between the truck and trailer box.

We could really use one of these - the truck we use to pull our 3H wide nose GN is a shortbed.  The GN is so close to the back window we could swear that it was going to hit us when we go around tight corners!!  And going over steep hills or RR tracks or a sharp dip in the road or entrances, it seems like the neck wing gussets are going to take out the tailgate.  It would also allow us to put more stuff in the bed of the truck and make moving between the truck and trailer much easier.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From their website:

Everyone who tows a gooseneck trailer needs more clearance between the truck and trailer. You either need more trailer swing for maneuvering, or you need more room at the tailgate for hooking up. Well, PopUp has a simple solution to this predicament.
 The new PopUp Short Bed Extended Coupler provides nine inches more clearance between the truck cab and the trailer nose, and between the truck tailgate and the trailer bulkhead - giving you more trailer swing and more room for hook-up.

To make the towing experience better yet, this extended coupler latches and unlatches remotely. 3 3/4 inches from ball to top gusset against the trailer neck tube. That's how much clearance you'll have with the SB1 all the way up the trailer tube.

The new PopUp Short Bed Extended Coupler fits standard round trailer tubes, square tubes and installs in about thirty minutes.

Lots of good pictures on the website:

The Luxury Liner is Sinking!!

I was out of town last weekend and happened to drive by the Sundowner Luxury Liner (LL) (see Sept 22 posting).  Of course, I had to stop and look at it.  :-)

As I walked through the lot, I was able to go inside all of the trailers (even the LQ ones) as none of them were locked.  I saved the 'best' for last.  From the outside, it appears to be a well-made trailer.  Unfortunately, the LL was locked.  Even the horse area.  I had hoped to get a glimpse of what ammenities they had put there for the horses as their website did not even have one picture of the horse stalls.  Heated water for the cold months?  Automatic snack feeder?  Instant manure/urine removal system?  Big screen TV?  I will never know.

However, one thing really stood out. 

The Luxury Liner is sinking. 

I couldn't even see the bottom of the landing gear so I really don't know how far it has sunk.  I guess this economy is even hitting the high end horse trailer business.  I wonder if they would take $20K???  Cash??? LOL

I'm getting scammed!!!

Good day,
We require to know if you can supply us with some horse trailers.Kindly get back to us with your inventory as well as pricing and advise if you accept credit card payment.Wish you all the best in business and 'ill be looking forward to your response.

I received this spam email today at my blog email address.  How bizarre - they read my blog enough to know that it is about horse trailers, but have no clue what it is really all about.  Or maybe they just saw the pictures???  I don't think 'Curt' is from the United States.

But the tires have only traveled 100 miles!

Horse Trailer - $850
New Tires that have only traveled 100 miles.. New electrical system set up with all new lights.. Pictures are not the best and trailer has been moved since they were taken.. Please E-mail me for more information...  (IA)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, if the pictures are not the best and it has been moved, how about some new pictures?  Unless it is in a place that is even worse - like the middle of a swamp or the bottom of a lake.

Camper or horse trailer?

This looks homemade to me.

Custom and clean

This is my horse trailer. It is a 1999 Turnbow reverse slant 2-horse, all aluminum. You walk the horses in using the side ramp, and they haul facing the rear of the trailer, and then you drop the rear ramp and they walk straight out. BEST TRAILER DESIGN EVER. I am saving my pennies for a brand new one (this trailer in a gooseneck costs like 20k because they are basically built to your own customer specifications).

Thanks to Serena

She is halter broke and stands well for farrier. She has had 2 foals. She is red and very beautiful. She can jump very well, but she is not broke. She has been ridden, but is not trained. She ties well and loads in the trailer. She is 800 or best offer.  (IN)
Breed: Quarter Horse
Gender: Broodmare

Since when is 'broodmare' a gender?  Babies always make me smile.

Have Fun With Your Trailer!

I thought I would share with you my unique horse trailer. It’s a 1976 2 horse Circle J.  I keep saying I am going to sell it, but the more I work on it the more I like it.  I bought it several years ago for $700. The floor, tires and brakes were all in good shape. It was in desperate need of a paint job, rewiring and the manger doors had rust damage. I had the manger and tack room doors replaced and it just had its 2nd paint job in 4 years.  After the first time I painted it, I could tell it was missing something. That’s when I added the spinners! They are made of ABS plastic, but look like chrome. When I drive down the road, I can look in my side mirror and I can see them spinning. It’s fun to drive through the town and see people’s reactions as they are waiting at crosswalks.  I’ve recently had all the wiring redone (someone had wired it with speaker wire and indoor extension cords) and I had an updated plug put on for my new truck.  I figure at some point I will sell it so I can upgrade to a 2 horse slant with full tack/dressing room.  In the meantime, my horse will continue to ride in style!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What a nice clean trailer!  I would not hesitate to put my horse in it - it looks super clean, safe, and snazzy to boot!! 

Thank you for sharing Melissa

I would like to sell this filly soon $800 obo. 2008 palomino & white filly with two blue eyes, 18 months old, have all paper work to register her with APHA, (haven't registered her yet because I couldn't think of a name for her), very gentle, halter broke, has been handled from birth, loads in trailer, stands for farrier,current on worming and vacinations. This filly is performance bred. Both parents are used for team roping. She is going to be big, approx. 14.3 currently. Dam is 15.3 and sire is 16.2. Filly is granddaugther of Sudden Impact. She would make a very nice 4-H project or all round using horse. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY! Call xxx xxx xxxx or email. Pictures posted do not do this filly justice.


Total fail on pictures!!  Head shot makes her look like a demon stallion with a super thick neck.  Rear shot makes her look so downhill that she is probably getting too much blood on her brain. Side shot looks like she has issues with her hind legs. Front shot makes her look like she is upright and long in her pasterns.  I realize that she is at an awkward age, but come on - you can do better than that!!

Factory Made - Really
