Living Quarters Horse Trailers For Sale

By Helene Norris


People who want to travel with horses should consider the convenience of finding living quarters horse trailers for sale. There are several different models and manufacturers available. The reasons for combining the area for transporting the horses, and the area which serves as living space for the owners include convenience, security and economy, as well as other reasons. Here are a few of the reasons why this type of traveling arrangements for moving horses and people at the same time makes sense.

Horse trailers with space included for owner accommodations are typically developed with all the fixtures and appliances that you would find in a camper or small travel trailer. Depending upon the type of hitch, there may be sleeping space over the hitch known as a "Fifth Wheel trailer". The trailer often has a full or queen-sized bed, additional sleeping space, a bathroom with shower and commode, cooking and refrigeration appliances and an eating area. Top-end versions will have ovens, microwaves, and entertainment devices.

By staying in living quarters close to where your animals are, you have the best opportunity to watch over their health and safety. Horses are often subject to conditions such as colic, where prompt action is necessary. You will be able to check on their health if you are parked near to their boarding or pasture area.

When you are looking for a place to pull over and stop for the night, or for something to eat, you don't have to search out a huge turnaround or parking place at a fast food place or trailer park. You can use an RV stop at a rest area or a roadside rest area to fix your lunch. The horses remain in the trailer for a short while and you can get a brief respite from a long drive.

Hauling horses around the country is not cheap. You can save money by having your living accommodations in the same unit as you use to transport the animals. Preparing your own food and sleeping in your trailer is much less costly than paying for restaurant meals and hotels.

State regulations often force the animal transporters to drive two vehicles and two trailers. A single vehicle followed by double trailers is legal in some states, but not in others. Typically, drivers who can handle a pickup and trailer would have much more difficulty in towing two trailers behind a single truck.

Having all the equipment that will be needed in one place is a benefit of time and money. Horses require a lot of equipment and even more so if you are in a show arena. In some situations, the riders will need costumes. At a minimum, the proper boots are important. Access to all these items from the living quarters means they don't have to be constantly packed and unpacked.

Find the right living quarters horse trailers for sale is easy when you know what you need in space and size. Review the type of equipment that you must have when you travel and, of course, the number of animals that you will be transporting. You can see many floor plans and sizes when you do an online search.
