The Most Popular Used Horse Trailers For Sale In Texas

By Alyce Powell


There are a wide variety of used horse trailers for sale in Texas. Before making a purchase it is important to spend some time thinking about exactly what the trailer will be used for. Some people just want to head out to the trails on weekends. A very basic model will be sufficient to meet their needs. Other will be traveling many miles to shows on a regular basis and will require something with more bells and whistles.

There are many excellent sites that are just for buying, selling or trading anything equestrian related. People find new horses, tack, clothing and much more. The sites are easy to navigate and most things are sorted by category. Finding a good pre owned trailer should be quite easy. All the specifications will be listed, including size, age and capacity of the trailer. Of course the most important factor for many people is the price.

Searching for a pre owner trailer on line is the fastest way to find something. There are many advertised on sites such as Craigslist. Others are on specialized horse sites. These web sites are devoted to everything equestrian. Visitors can shop for everything from new grooming brushes and buckets, to an equestrian property with barns and acreage.

The most common type of trailer is the standard two horse bumper pull version. This model fulfills the needs of most people. Many private owners only have one or two animals and do not need a bigger trailer. A bumper pull model is very typical as most owners either own or have access to a truck. Depending on the overall size of the trailer and horses, even a fairly small truck should be able to do the job.

If the buyer is new to the horse world it is vital that they bring along a more experienced friend. The trailer should be carefully inspected from end to end to make sure it is in a good safe condition. Many sellers will disclose issues and problems, giving the buyer a chance to make an informed decision about the purchase. Any signs of rot on the sides or floor of the trailer should be taken very seriously.

Many people now use rubber matting on the floors to make it more comfortable for the horses. These mats should be taken up to check for the condition of the floor. Lights and electrics are another important factor. Anything that is not working will need to be fixed and this can add to the expense.

Owning their own trailer is a dream come true for many small time horse owners. It gives them the freedom to pursue their interests. This may be competing at a higher level or simply heading to the trails on a beautiful fall afternoon.

There are many things to consider when buying used horse trailers for sale in Texas. Many dealerships now offer in house financing which allows the client to spread their payments over several years. This is a good option for those who many not have a lot of money to spend.
