An anxious horse and an anxious handler never have fun loading a trailer. European horse trailer engineers have designed a trailer with horse loading in mind.
The Full-Length Loading Ramp
Reduces the angle of loading – easier to load/unload horses.
Allows a cautious horse to have all 4 feet on the ramp as it backs down, so it can have all four feet on the same plane.
Anti-slip rubber on loading ramps.
Galvanized steel spines to prevent the ramp from flexing as horses come on and off.
Oil -filled shocks to ease raising and lowering.
Every Car Manufacturer offers a Model that can Tow. Some examples are below. If you are car shopping, check the specs of your favourite brand at www.edmunds.com:
The fully removable divider can be swung to either side of the trailer, or entirely removed.
Lots of headroom ahead of the chest bar to allow horses to lower their heads for balance and to clear their sinuses.
Different trailers for different horses and different trailering needs.
Chest and butt bars are adjustable from a 12 hand pony to an 18 hand warm blood.
Simple release system on chest and butt bars are easy to use.
Front Loading Option
Although most horses will learn to walk backward off a trailer…some just won’t! Ask Maple Lane Equestrian Trailers about front unload options!
