This 2 horse straight load gooseneck trailer is a classic design which has enjoyed years of popularity. Our version, the “Sportabout,” has several modern safety upgrades that put it ahead of average manufacturers. First, the “V” shaped nose and lightweight design make this gooseneck horse trailer easier to tow than other brands.
Then, here’s a twist – true safety comes from using the right building materials! We focus our efforts on choosing the safest and most durable horse trailer materials so you can be confident your trailer will protect your horse for years to come.
The Z-Frame chassis provides superior lightweight strength. Double insulated walls and the SafeBump roof work together to maintain a safe interior temperature. SafeKick walls and Rumber flooring minimize stress to your horses’ legs so they can arrive fresh and ready-to-go.
This is an all-around great trailer for horse owners of all types – from the serious competitor to the casual trail ride enthusiast. This 2 horse straight load gooseneck trailer for sale starts at $34,644.

Your new Sportabout straight load gooseneck horse trailer is anything but ordinary. That’s because this trailer can be customized to fit one of four different layouts.
Want a mid-tack room to store your gear? Need a box stall to polish off those braids? Or, is a living quarters on the wish list so your weekend trail adventure can be extended?
Either way… one of these four configurations will fit the bill. Then, continue to customize your trailer so it fits your horses and your lifestyle. Here are the starting options:
Option 1 - Go with the Basics: Standard 2 horse straight load gooseneck with combination dressing & tack room in the front.
Option 2 - Organize Your Gear: 2 horse straight load gooseneck with mid-tack room and separate dressing room so you can keep your gear clean and organized.
Option 3 - Add a Box Stall: 2+1 horse trailer with forward box stall, mid-tack room, and separate dressing room. (This option also works well if you need to transport a carriage or wagon.)
Option 4 - Full Living Quarters: 2 horse straight load gooseneck with mid-tack room and full living quarters area. Add in a kitchenette, bathroom, dining area … the works!
As you can see, your final trailer design is fully flexible. That’s because we believe in letting the customer pay for the features they want – and not the ones they don’t! Once you’ve chosen a basic layout, add even more features:
Add extra stall length, width, or height for your large breed horse.
Specify how many saddle racks you need for your tack storage.
Include multiple side escape doors or ramps to make loading and unloading a breeze.
Then, you can spend time customizing the human amenities on your trailer:
Add an outdoor awning to create a shaded retreat.
Install air conditioning in the dressing room or living area to keep things cool.
Customize your full living quarters horse trailer to create a cozy home-away-from-home.
Since our trailers are built-to-order, you are going to get more ‘bang for your buck’ with this custom 2 horse straight load gooseneck. You will get factory direct pricing without huge mark-ups common on a typical dealer’s lot. And you’ll end up with a trailer that is designed exactly to your specifications!
All of our trailers, including the popular SafeTack slant load horse trailers, can be customized to fit your large horse breeds. This particular 2 horse straight load gooseneck model comes standard with a 7’6” high ceiling, padded stalls, and a bright, airy interior. Extra height can be added.
We put special attenti
on into the trailer interior so it's welcoming to even the largest horse breeds. After all, a beautiful and well-constructed trailer doesn’t do much good if your horse doesn’t want to walk on board!
Here are just some of the features that are included to make our trailers comfortable for stress-free travel:
- Individual roof air vents and large easy-open windows for air flow.
- Tubular head dividers so that your horse can see his surroundings.
- White painted interior to reflect light for high visibility.
- 2” handmade padding on dividers for a comfortable leaning surface.
- SafeKick walls that flex to protect your horses’ delicate legs.
- Fiber composite insulated SafeBump roof that helps regulate the temperature on the hottest of days.
- Z-Frame construction will protect your horse in the case of an accident.
- Rumber flooring option that transfers less heat and road vibration up into their legs.
- Quiet interior with rivet-less 3M chemical bonding design.
The mid-tack dressing room available on several of the 2 horse straight load gooseneck options described above is the perfect space to organize your equipment. Saddle racks, bridle hooks, and other organizational features will help you protect your valuable tack and grooming supplies.
Best of all, you can keep this (sometimes messy) equipment away from your show clothing, food, and bedding materials in the dressing room.
An interior wall will separate this mid-tack room from both the horse area and the dressing room area. Interior doors can connect the spaces along with an exterior door directly to your tack room.
Our attention to safety is one of the main things that sets Double D Trailers apart from other trailer manufacturers. In fact, we’ve revolutionized loading safety on the SafeTack slant load horse trailer design.

While the Sportabout 2 horse straight load gooseneck model isn’t the star of our show, it’s still an exceptionally safe horse trailer. Here’s why:
1. Choose a step-up or ramp for your horse trailer. The interior divider can swing over to give your horse more room to walk into his stall.
2. Decide where and how to place the escape doors. Often, straight load horse trailers only have a small half-height escape door that the handler needs to climb through once their horse is in position.
We give you the option of putting as many full-sized escape doors in your trailer as you’d like. (Recently, two full sized doors have been a very popular option with our customers.)
3. Interior door. Handlers can also use the interior door to pass directly from the horse area into the tack room or dressing room (depending on your design configuration.)
4. No Dangerous Manger. This trailer does not have a manger in the front of the straight load stalls. This is another element for safety that allows the handler to walk straight through when loading their horses.
5. Easy Release Safety Pin on Butt and Chest Bars. As with many straight load horse trailers, it is necessary to have chest and butt bars positioned around your horse to keep him in his stall.
Our bars have an easy-release safety pin that makes it possible to lower the bar even if the full weight of your horse is on top of it. This is an important safety feature that can be used if a horse ever rears up and latches a leg over the chest bar.
Our gooseneck horse trailers are especially safe to tow. We’ve designed a V-shaped nose that makes it easier for short bed pick-up trucks to haul safely without any turning radius restrictions. Plus, we’ve positioned the rear lights high up on the trailer so that they can be seen by following motorists.
This 2 horse gooseneck trailer weighs approximately 4100 lbs and can be towed with most any 1500 series half ton pick-up truck. We always recommend that you carefully look at the towing capacity of your vehicle and the hitch capacity to ensure that you are hauling a safe load. We are always happy to talk with you if you have any towing questions or concerns.
Click on the “Customize Your Trailer” button below and you can start picking out the features for your ideal trailer. Then, you’ll be put in contact with our lead designer who you will be working closely with to finalize the design. After the trailer is constructed, it can be delivered directly to your farm with our flat rate delivery.
A standard 2 horse straight load gooseneck trailer is 21.5 feet long with a box length of 14 feet. The stall length will be 10 feet with 3 feet for the width. The overall trailer length depends on your style of trailer. Add a mid-tack storage area, front box stall, or even full living quarters to increase the length.
An empty 2 horse straight load gooseneck trailer from Double D Trailers weighs around 4,100 pounds and can be towed with most any 1500 series half ton pick-up truck.
Horses prefer trailers that are wide open in the back for easy loading and unloading. A straight load trailer from Double D Trailers is designed to be horse friendly with lots of light and airflow. Straight load trailers often cost less, can work well for large horses, and are simple to load. But, a SafeTack slant load trailer can include extra safety features you might prefer.
