RE: [RC] [RC] used, OLD, aluminum trailer question - terry banister

Is it a manger style- with the solid wall in front of the horse's feet so horse cannot "surf" for balance, and hay in the horse's nostrils for the entire ride and horse cannot lower its head to clear nasal passages? Does it have a short, steep ramp and old spring suspension?

Maybe you might want to check out the Sheve's book "The Complete Guide to Buying, Maintaining and Servicing a Horse Trailer," so you could then answer your own questions.

You get what you pay for.

 Happy Trails!

Terry
