OK, :-) You shouldn't build it yourself unless you are a trained
structural engineer who can correctly calculate the various loads your
trailer will see during a turn or over a bumpy dirt road. Also, horses
can kick, it can be really hard to make a good trailer tough enough to
stand the occasional double barreled whammy that even the best trailering
horses will give.
