When you need to transport your horses, it’s essential that you have a reliable trailer. If you’re unsure about the type of trailer you want to buy, read the tips below before you visit a Bison Horse Trailers Des Moines IA area dealership.
- Determine how many horses you’ll be hauling at one time so you can select a trailer that’s the right size. If you’ll only be hauling two or three horses at a time, you may not want to spend the extra money to purchase a larger trailer. Take into consideration the towing capacity of your vehicle before purchasing your trailer unless you’re going to buy a new truck, too.
- Decide if you want a step up trailer or a ramp trailer for your horses. Keep in mind that some horses are leery about backing up and stepping off the back of a trailer. Older horses may have trouble stepping down, so a ramp would be a better option. If you purchase a step down trailer, you can always have a ramp added to the back if you decide you want one later.
- If you regularly travel to horse shows far from home or go on camping trips, you may want to consider a trailer that has living quarters. Not only will you save money on lodgings, but you’ll have your horses close by at night. If you’re visiting a Bison Horse Trailers Des Moines IA, area dealership, you can customize your living quarters by choosing the cabinet color, floor covering, and furniture upholstery design.
- Horse trailers are available with many optional features, depending on your budget. These may include drop down windows, an escape door or a hay storage rack. When you have drop down windows, your horses will be able to get more air inside the trailer while traveling. After leading your horse into the trailer, you can get back outside without having to walk past your horse if you have an escape door. A hay storage rack on the top of your trailer is by no means a necessity, but it’s handy to have when you go on long trips with your horses.
