Fiberglass stock

1986 Trig Gooseneck 6-8 horse fiberglass stock trailer - $7000 (PA)
This 86 Trig gooseneck stock horse trailer will fit up to 8 semi large QHs or 7 really large horses. It has a steel frame with a fiberglass shell which does not rust. We recently put new mats on the floor and plywood and mats on the wall and 4 brand new tires. Inspected through April 2010. Floor boards, brakes and electric in great shape and it’s ready to use. No work needed for use. We pull this with 8 horses with our Ford F350 diesel without any problems. Has two dividers in the front half for dividing horses. Very wide. Our big horses can stand sideways in it. Approximately 24 feet long. Asking $7,000 FIRM. We have more than $7000 in this trailer and it’s very much worth every penny. This is a trusty trailer. We were hired to haul 6 horses home from Michigan and this trailer hauled a stallion and several mares home with no problem. Pictures on website

Winch 'em in

Gooseneck Horse Trailer 1999 $9,999(KY)
1999 "Valley" Two Horse Gooseneck Trailer!!

This trailer is unique in that it has a side ramp and rear ramp for easy loading/unloading! It has also has an emergency door on the driver's side. It has lots of storage space in the attic area and has been professionally painted white in 2009. Flooring is new with rubber stall mats and all wiring is new for both lights and RV Plug. This trailer is thoroughbred height at 7"6. It is equipped with a brand new 8500lb Ramsey Winch and 250 gallon water tank.. The winch operates off of a brand new Optima battery. Winch/battery/water tank can be sold separately. This trailer looks brand new and has no rust. Bearings were greased in 2009.

This is the entire ad - no explaination as to why there is a winch in it.  I am hoping that it is NOT to force a bad loader on the trailer.  Maybe it is used for a horse ambulance??  Do they strap a sick/euthanized horse on the mat and drag it in?? 
Note the padding on the ceiling.
Any ideas?

This was on eBay - and did not sell.  It is hard to see spending $11,000 on a 31 yr old trailer in poor shape that kinds looks like a sauna on wheels or something that you would keep by your pool.

Today's blog is one of my favorites!!  Beverly actually purchased the trailer that was posted here on Feb 4.  She has already done quite a bit of work to makeit look good - I look forward to seeing pictures of her progress.  I still want to see the inside!  :-)

This is what she emailed me:

Before

After

I was looking for information on an old Triggs trailer I bought from Indiana and found your website. How funny! I found the trailer on the Feb 4 blog... It's the one that said "DOGS" all over it. I like weird old trailers anyway, and was looking for a light fiberglass one to put a horse or two in to go to the park, or store my 4 wheelers or some hay. I'm living proof that the saying "there's an ass for every seat" is true. This thing is sooo ugly, it's cool. Kinda like a bad car wreck, you have to look because it's horrible and facinating at the same time!

I have started restoring it and have included a before and after pic of the exterior to show what new tires and wheels, some EZ-Off oven cleaner , and three hours of my time can do to start polishing this turd!


The dressing room does not have any dog cages but I think at some point they had kennel cabs or some similar type of cage in there. Instead of a solid wall, it has a steel expanded metal wall for ventilation, which further reinforced the steel frame inside the fiberglass. The hay rack on the roof is bolted into the steel frame and is actually really solid. You called it right on the pool ladder, but it has no-skid on all the rungs and on the edge of the roof, so it is not hard to go up or down at all. I live in south Florida, so I will never put hay up there, but it will easily hold my John Lyons portable corral panels or other non perishable stuff I don't wanna put in the dressing room.


The trailer is 8' wide and has three slants inside. It also has six roof vents with fans, sliding windows all around, and side vents. All the lights, including the loading lights ,work, and the only repairs it needs are one board in the floor, and new draw pull latches on the horse windows.


This thing is so randomly cool...I think turd trailers need luv too! I will send you more pics when I get it completely finished. Let me know what you think...
