Horse Trailers for Sale

A Marketplace Built by Horse People

The Horse Trailers for Sale Facebook Group is a direct marketplace — no dealer markups, no auction fees, no middlemen. Sellers post photos, specs, and asking prices. Buyers ask questions and make offers. Members share honest opinions on brands, floor plans, and what to watch out for on used trailers.

With over 2,100 members and growing, it's one of the most active horse trailer communities on Facebook — and a trusted place to find your next rig or move the one sitting in your yard.

Types of Horse Trailers

Choosing the right trailer depends on how many horses you haul, how far you travel, and what your tow vehicle can handle. Here's what's most commonly bought and sold in the group:

• Bumper pull — the most common starter trailer, tows with a standard hitch, typically 1–3 horse capacity
• Gooseneck — connects to a ball in the truck bed for better weight distribution, ideal for 3+ horses and long hauls
• Living quarters (LQ) — gooseneck trailers with built-in sleeping, kitchen, and bathroom for multi-day hauling to ropings, rodeos, and shows
• Stock trailers — open-sided trailers designed for cattle that many ropers and ranch riders use for horses too
• Slant load vs. straight load — slant loads fit more horses in less length; straight loads are easier for horses to load and unload

What to Check Before You Buy

A used horse trailer can be a great deal or an expensive mistake. Experienced haulers in the group recommend checking these things before you hand over cash:

• Floor condition — wood floors rot from the bottom up, and floor failure is the number one safety hazard in used trailers
• Tires and bearings — trailer tires age-out even if they have tread; check date codes and ask when bearings were last repacked
• Brakes and wiring — electric brake magnets wear down and wiring corrodes, especially on trailers stored outside
• Frame and welds — rust on steel frames and cracked welds on aluminum frames both compromise structural integrity
• Latches, hinges, and dividers — horses are hard on trailers, and worn hardware leads to escapes and injuries
• Title and registration — always verify a clean title and matching VIN before you buy
