395.0. "One horse trailers" by BSS::ZINN () Mon Jun 20 1988 12:20

    We started out a few years ago with a one-horse (home-made).  We
    were the third owners of it, and sold it when we needed more capacity.
    The people to whom we sold it still use it.  There is nothing wrong
    with a well-made one-horse; it may be a little tougher to re-sell
    if you no longer want it (limited market), but they haul well and
    are usually a little wider for your horse (more room, better footing.)
    If you like it, go with it.  Most things like this are personal
    taste, anyway.

    is it a tandem axle or a single axle??
    i was told with a single horse that it had one axle, and was easy
    to flip. I really dont know, just soemthing i was told.
    my .02 worth. buy a two, its not that much more wieght and more
    storage room.
    
    
395.2Depends on how the horse loadsSEDOAS::NEALEMon Jun 27 1988 06:2314
    I think a lot depends on whether or not your horse will go into
    a single trailer. If the horse is at all difficult to load, it will
    be even worse going into the small enclosed space of a single trailer.
    If you're in any doubt, perhaps the people selling the trailer would
    let you try and load your horse before you buy it.
    
    I was in a similar situation to yourself, but my horse is difficult
    to load, and eventually, after months of looking, I found a good
    lightweight double trailer that my car can pull, that my horse walks
    straight into, and was in my price range. 
    
    Good Luck,
    
    Alison.
