What are horse trailers? If you love to watch and bet in horse races, did you ever wonder how these horses are transported from one place to another? Probably not, but proper transport of race horses preserves the peak performance of the horse.
Simply put, if you have a poor horse trailer, you have a poor performing horse.
There are many types and designs of horse trailers.
These designs can be horse boxes that are capable of housing a single horse and can be pulled by an automobile.
There are small units that can house one to three horses and are pulled by a SUV or pick-up truck.
There are so-called goose neck-designed horse trailers that can house five to eight horses and are pulled by a 1 ton dual-style pickup or semi-trailer trucks.
Of these types of trailers, the stock trailer is the cheapest of them all.
These trailers are secured at the bottom and protected with metal fences with slits just about the eye level of the animal.
However, the stock trailer was made with cattle in mind and these are used to move cattle and not horses.
Horse trailers come in more elaborate designs.
These trailers should not only provide shelter and safety for the horse, but also give them comfort during a ride.
The aim of the design is to preserve the peak condition of the animal.
Some trailers are padded to avoid harm and trauma to the animal in case of sudden brakes or accidents.
Suspension is provided for the trailer so that the animal will not be too stressed from the ride.
Furthermore, some have adjustable vents and even air-conditioned spaces to maintain a favorable temperature for the horses.
Good horse trailers provide the ultimate comfort and safety to work and race horses.
Ensuring the peak condition of the horse trailer will ensure the peak condition of the horse.
