If you are considering buying a horse trailer, it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the wide selection available on the market. From front facing to slant load to stock trailers, everyone claims that their trailer is the best and will be perfect for your needs.
Before buying a trailer, you need to consider what you need it for. Will you be showing a lot? Are you traveling long distances? Do you need a space to keep your tack? Then you need to consider what types of horses you will be shipping. Are they large? Small? Will you be shipping many horses, or only one or two? Are the horses good buddies, or are they likely to be strangers? All of these things and more will make a difference as you select your trailer.
Horse trailers come in many loading styles. The traditional two-horse trailer is a rear-loading trailer where both horses stand facing forward with a partition of some sort between them. These trailers are practical for many horse owners, and are easy to find.
Another common style is the head to head trailer. This usually has a side loading ramp, and the horses are set up so that half are facing forward while the other half face backward. Sometimes there is room to fit a small horse or pony in the middle. Generally these are two to six-horse trailers.
Slant loads tend to need more length for less horses, but offer a position that makes traveling easier on the horses. The partitions can be rather snug, giving the horses less wiggle room. Generally the waste space at the front of the trailer is made into storage rooms, suitable for keeping your tack on the trip. The average slant load trailer for three horses is about the same size as a straight load trailer for four horses.
Stock trailers do not have any dividers between the horses, but are often split into two large box stalls. They allow the horses room to choose their own position as they travel. One disadvantage is that there is no protection keeping horses from hurting one another while in transit.
A more recent innovation is the two + one style of trailer. This type of trailer combines a two-horse straight load with a one horse box stall in front. This box stall is small, and can be used for tack and equipment if you do not want to load a horse in it.
Each style of trailer can be found in step up or ramp load. Steps ups can be useful for difficult loaders as there is not hollow-sounding ramp to travel on. Ramps are generally safer though, although steep ramps need to have side panels to keep horses from stepping off the side by accident.
Some trailers come with built in tack rooms, and even changing rooms. While they add length, these can be very useful if you show a lot, or don’t have extra room in your towing vehicle.
Finally, there are two primary types of hitch to consider. Bumper pull hitches are the most common, and can be used with a wide range of vehicles. They are great for smaller trailers, but not as secure for the bigger ones. Horse trailers should never be actually hooked onto a bumper – the hitch must be properly installed onto the frame of the towing vehicle.
Gooseneck hitches are more secure and are perfect for larger trailers. They also offer storage space in the neck, which can be useful if your trailer does not have a tack room. The problem with goosenecks is that you need a pick-up truck to pull them, and the hitch must be installed in the bed of your truck.
While you can find fifth-wheel hitches on horse trailers, they are uncommon.

Help answer the question about Horse
How can I spend Christmas with my horse?Well, hopefully I'll have my horse by then. I saw a cute Santa Hat that hangs on a horses ear, and that my be an option as well. Can you think of any gifts that would be on a horse's wish list?
Please if you aren't going to give a helpful answer, then don't answer at all.

That’s amazing! It always seem easier to draw on the computer then on paper. Really now, to color like that makes me curious, though everyone’s style of art is different.
together we exist together we suffer and forever we will recreate each other…. i witnessed a very magical moment just now…. thank you.

sundowner by far makes the BEST LQ trailers, but exiss and featherlite are not bad either. there are a lot of companies out there now that turn non-LQ trailers into LQ trailers with aftermarket parts and things that customize your trailer to your needs. gold coach conversions is one company that does a good job

King would be the Make. That's my guess.
The model would be a number or letters with numbers eg. SR-25L
If the maker "King" put out a number of different styles of trailer
eg. King Rancher, King Sublite, King Sierra, etc…
Then "rancher", "sublite" or other 'names' would be the model.
:Missing title/registration
To register you may have to go through the police and fill out a form so they can run a check on the VIN, then you can go to the DMV to get registered.
Just my guess
A slant trailer is one where the horses are loaded to stand at a diagonal angle across the trailer, rather than parallel to the sides.
I don't like slants, myself. They're harder to load into because the horse has to be maneuvered into place, tied, and then left while the handler gets out of the way and swings the gate into place. If the horse isn't cooperative, it can be dangerous. Once the horses are loaded, you can only get to the one in the back. If something's happenned to the one in front, you have to unload however many are in behind it to get to it.
I like stock trailers, the ones that are open in the back; I have a 4 horse myself. It's not much more expensive than a 2 horse, and I'm forever taking a friend's horse along with mine for a trail ride or whatever. You can load the horses however you want, or they want, even in a slant. When I get where I'm going, I take my QH out and tie him, and leave my daughter's OTTB who doesn't tie loose inside like a box stall. They're both happy and safe. I highly recommend the 4 horse.
The stepup trailers are great. I've had more horses object to the ramp then to the step up, which was the opposite of what I expected. With the step up, you don't have to lift and lower a heavy ramp, you don't have to worry about the horse getting caught on the springs, you don't have to clean poop out of the channel between the ramp and the trailer, and you're not putting yourself at risk when the horse decides to exit the trailer and you're in the middle of raising the ramp!
I think the safest ones are probably the aluminum ones simply because they don't rust. Too many steel trailers have major rust problems that go unnoticed until too late. Mine's steel, and I inspect it often, but the next one will be aluminum.
If you're hauling horses that don't get along or don't know each other, you're probably better off with a standard two horse. Here, the 4 horse may be a lot more than the two horse, but the kind where the front two horses face the back and the back two face the front are great.
Make sure it's well ventilated and tall enough for your horses.
Are things more illuminated now?
Edit: In a real emergency, I have driven with up to 6 in my 4 horse stock. Short distances only; horses all knew each other; 3 small ponies, 2 14 hand arabs, 1 horse.
véiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, que difuu
You’re an amazing artist both painting and music wise. keep it up ^ ^
First off, you will need a "tag along" trailer, not a gooseneck trailer. After that, its not so much the type but the weight of the trailer. You need to know the vehicles maximum towing capacity and maximum tongue weight. Then you need to make sure that the trailer (when loaded with horses and equipment) does not exceed those limits. Horse trailers usually have electric brakes and you'll need to have the proper electrical hook-up on the suburban so that the brakes and brake lights and turn signals all work on the trailer.
A Dodge 1500 would work just fine to tow a 2-horse trailer, but would struggle with something bigger. I think you'd get a safe, capable truck with any of the full-size pickups.
I tow my 2-horse bumper pull with a Chevy Silverado 2500HD. It's way more truck than I need for what I pull, but it's nice! Before that I had a Ford, that was officially a F150, but had many components of a F250 (my dad special ordered it). It pulled fine from when it was new in 1985 until I got my new truck in 2002. But, I needed to fill it with 93 octane gas when towing or it would knock and/or ping when going up big hills. It had two gas tanks so I'd just put 87 in one and 93 in the other.
it’s almost like a photo
great painting 
HOLY CRAP! Comparing this to the original picture, they’re identical!
Okay, here's the OLD timer! I drive a '95, Ford, King Cab, F250, gas engine (Thank God!) with an OLD 1975 2 horse King, bumper pull. I bought BOTH vehicles NEW and the trailer's working on it's 4th truck, all have been 3/4's, first two were Chevy's ('75 and '79) then I learned.

awesome stuff man,….ama practice hard to get to yo level!
The F78-15ST trailer tire is also called an ST205/75D15.
dude, you own! this looks identical to a photograph
Make sure it has brakes that work. Pick up the rubber mats and look under them to check the floor. Check how recently the brakes were packed.
It should have a clear title so you can get it tagged if you have to do that in your state.
double check the hinges on the doors. Sometimes the welds crack and you don't realize it as the other hinges take up the slack for awhile
Enjoy!!
