Horse Trailers For Sale in United Kingdom

Trailers used to transport horses have been around since the 18th Century, although those early versions were often open-air trailers pulled by other horses and made primarily of wood, and did little to protect the horse or provide for a smooth, stress-free ride. Among the earliest models were horse-drawn ambulances used by fire departments and armies to transport wounded horses. Depending on geographic region, a horse trailer can also be referred to as a horse van, horse float, or horsebox.

Unlike livestock trailers, which typically have slatted sides for airflow, modern-day horse trailers are designed for the comfort and safety of the horses being hauled, with adjustable vents and windows, and suspension systems for smooth rides. New and used horse trailers for sale are most often bumper-pull or gooseneck models in a variety of sizes for transporting one to eight or more horses. They come with either a ramp or a relatively low-height floor for easily loading horses. Horse trailers with living quarters include kitchens, bathrooms, sleeping quarters, and living areas designed for the horse owners to stay in while at a horse show or on the road.
