Re: [RC] Thuro-Bilt Trailers - heidi sowardsHi Jennifer, I went to Oregon last year and looked very thoroughly at the Thuro-bilt! There was a Trail's West parked right next to it. Very similar price! Here's why I went with the T-B. Both trailers were 2 horse slants, the TW partition was not padded and was a solid partition, while the T-B was nicely padded, had the bars so horses can see each other but not savage anyone! The TW had an open bus window on the rear side, the T-B has the bus window but it comes with a removable plastic tinted window. More tie rings on the outside of the T-B, more lights and reflectors too. The drop down windows on the TW were smaller. The rubber bumper on the rear seemed to be less cheaply made. I added two options to my T-B and that was the rubber mats on the walls and the rings for corner feeders. I bought my T-B almost one year ago and have not regretted it one bit! It pulls well, the horses seem to ride fine, it's roomy enough that if I had a pony I could probably stuff it in there with the small arabs. I did think I wanted the removable wall between the tack area and the horses. I'm still not sure why I think I need this, however, I could pull it out and put another horse in backwards right there. So in a pinch, I could haul 3 smaller horses! However, the drawback to the removable wall is that there is a small gap that pee from the horse side can run under into your tack area. I cut a strip off a rubber mat and slid under that area and I just throw the shavings a little heavy in that pee area. No problems since. The T-B comes stock with two saddle holders, tack hooks and 2 blanket bars. I love my T-B and if I ever upgrade I'll go back and probably look at them again!!!!! Oh yeah, brand new I paid $5300 and that is adding the options I did. I got the GTplus 2-horse slant! heidi --- Jennifer Billings <love2tolt@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: ============================================================ They're athletes!
