Custom Horse Trailers for Competitive Equestrians
Horse Trailers That Compete as Hard as You Do | Trailer Design for Your Sport
Competitive riders aren’t all the same, and neither are their trailers.
We’ve worked with top performers across disciplines, and each one brings unique demands. That’s why we don’t start with features. We start with how you actually compete.
Dressage
For horses trained in stillness, softness, and submission, calm travel is non-negotiable.
- Rear-facing stalls to reduce stress and movement
- Quiet interiors with padded walls and anti-rattle design
- Extra overhead clearance and stall length for tall warmbloods
- Storage for saddle pads, tall boots, long bridles, and clean whites
Eventing
Your horses are athletes across three phases, terrain, and temperature.
- Large dressing rooms and optional LQ space to prep between rides
- Reinforced stall walls and kickproof padding for powerful horses
- Ventilation systems for long-haul airflow
- Rear ramp + forward walk-off for quick exits post-cross country
Reining & Western
You’re hauling heavy tack and serious horsepower.
- Swing-out SafeTack with extra space for western saddles
- Custom bridle hooks, saddle pad organizers, and dust-sealed bins
- Oversized stalls for muscular horses with room to breathe
- Optional lighting and fans for prep before the next run
Show Jumping
When you’re chasing points across the country, you can’t afford breakdowns or delays.
- High ceilings, wide stalls, and full-width rear entry
- Storage for medical kits, tack trunks, spare gear, and everything in between
- Torsion suspension for smoother long-distance rides
- Rear-facing slant to keep high-energy horses settled between classes
What Should a Competitive Equestrian Look for in a Trailer?
1. Durability That Outlasts the Circuit
When you’re trailering across state lines, over gravel lots, and through unpredictable weather, shortcuts break down fast.
Our Z-Frame® structure combines the strength of steel with the rust resistance of aluminum, so you’re not forced to choose between safety and weight.
No cheap aluminum skins. No welds that split after one season. Just a rock-solid trailer, built to last.
2. Built-In Storage for the Way You Pack
If you compete, you’re hauling more than a saddle.
Tack trunks. Hay. Boots. Supplements. Fans. Feed bins. Extra bridles. That pair of show whites you swear you won’t forget next time.
We design storage systems around your exact gear, not whatever shelves or cubbies were cheapest for a dealer to install.
- Oversized mangers and hay compartments
- Fully enclosed and lockable SafeTack® swing-out tack area
- Saddle racks with adjustable height
- Optional dressing rooms or full living quarters
You tell us what you bring and we’ll build to fit.
3. Safe, Stress-Free Loading Every Time
When you're on the road every weekend, you don’t have time to fight with a difficult loader.
That’s why every Double D slant-load trailer is available with our SafeTack® Reverse design the only system that combines:
✅ Rear-facing stalls (recommended for calmer travel)
✅ Full-width rear entry with no center post
✅ Swing-out tack compartment that clears the path for loading
✅ Easy unloads, horses simply walk forward to exit
Why Custom Matters for Competitive Riders
Your trailer isn’t a weekend toy, it’s your second home.
It hauls your best horses, your livelihood, and your future plans.
The wrong layout can create chronic stress.
The wrong airflow can invite colic.
The wrong fit can blow your whole weekend.
That’s why we work one-on-one with every rider to design a trailer around their needs:
- Custom stall widths and heights
- Ventilation systems designed for long-haul airflow
- Storage for your gear, not some dealer's guess
When you go factory direct, there’s no pressure to “buy what’s on the lot.” There’s only clarity, collaboration, and a trailer that’s built for your real life.
Resale Value That Reflects the Quality
You know this sport is expensive. You don’t need to lose more money when you upgrade.
Because our trailers are built to last, and because every model is custom, they hold value.
Buyers recognize the name. They recognize innovation. And they know they’re getting a trailer with documented safety and design history.
“Best resale value on the market! We just sold our Double D Trailer after 5 years. We got almost all of our money back.”
— Kristin, 2H GN LQ Owner
If You’re Serious About Competing… Don’t Settle
A generic trailer might save you time today. But over the course of a show season?
...Your horse gets cranky
...You scramble to find space for gear
...You worry about resale
...You end up making do instead of doing your best
That’s not how champions roll.
