Towing Horse Trailers

One way to pair down your options is figuring out what type of towing method you want to use. A gooseneck trailer will connect to your truck's bed. This provides improved stability and a higher weight capacity. But it does mean you have to have a tow vehicle with a large enough bed to be compatible. 

A tagalong, in contrast, connects up to the hitch provided on the frame of your tow vehicle. They are easy to hitch and unhitch, which can be especially appealing to those new at towing. They can also be compatible with a wider range of vehicles such as minivans, SUVs, and RVs. But it does mean that you won't be able to pack along as much weight.
 

The Material Types

Horse trailers also come in a range of materials. One popular option is steel. These are sturdy and durable. They can handle the wear and tear of the open road with ease. They can also handle heavier loads, but can place more of a strain on your tow vehicle.

Another common choice is aluminum trailers. These are made to be lightweight. It's easier to tow this lighter frame, which can be especially beneficial if your tow vehicle is older or smaller. But they won't be as sturdy and can more easily face damage from the road or from your horse. If your horse or horses tend to be more active and rambunctious, then this might not be a wise choice.

Any horse trailer material you choose should be coated with an anti-corrosive material. You don't want your expensive investment facing corrosive damage! Steel can rust and aluminum can corrode, so be sure to protect against this.
