2 Horse Gooseneck Trailer with Living Quarters

The Trail Blazer is Double D Trailers' 2-horse slant-load trailer with living quarters, built on our exclusive Z-Frame construction. This model features a SafeBump molded fiber composite roof and a front-mounted living quarters layout that maximizes horse compartment space while providing comfortable overnight accommodations.

The Trail Blazer horse trailer with living quarters is one of the hottest-selling two horse trailer models for sale in the market today. It combines all of our top safety features with the ability to customize to your heart’s content. While this model comes standard as a 2 horse living quarters trailer with a 7-foot short wall, it can easily be transformed to have larger living quarters, a 3 horse layout, a SafeTack living quarters trailer design, and more.

How the Trail Blazer Is Built

The Trail Blazer is constructed on Double D Trailers' Z-Frame system, a high-tensile, zinc-infused alloy framework welded into a single torsion unit that resists flex and corrosion better than traditional aluminum frames. The living quarters area meets national RV safety standards with modern layouts and premium finishes, while the horse area can be configured as a 2-horse slant load, 3-horse layout, or SafeTack Reverse design with swing-out rear tack. Factory-direct pricing lets you add SafeBump composite roofing, SafeKick wall panels, and custom living quarters upgrades without dealer markups.

The Trail Blazer as a Weekender Horse Trailer

“Weekender” is the everyday name for a horse trailer with small living quarters for weekend trips: a place to sleep, cook and wash up at a trail ride, clinic or show.

The Trail Blazer is built for exactly that. Its standard living quarters have a 7-foot short wall (available up to 9 feet, with an optional slide-out), a fold-out sleeper sofa or drop-down dinette, a 2-burner cooktop, a 3 cu. ft. RV refrigerator, a microwave and sink, a stand-up shower and toilet, 13,500 BTU A/C with heat, and a roll-out awning. It sleeps 2-3 people and, like every Double D Trailers living quarters trailer, it is RVIA-certified.

It suits riders hauling 2 or 3 horses up to 16.2 hands (or 17+ hands with added width and height) who want a mid-sized living quarters. The base 2-horse model, with its compact 18-foot design and no added width or height, can be handled by many half-ton trucks. And it keeps our top safety features: Z-Frame, the SafeTack design, SafeKick walls and the No Leak SafeBump roof.

Top Horse Safety Features on the Trail Blazer

As with all of our trailers, the Trail Blazer has a number of horse safety features that make it stand out in the crowd of “average” trailers on the market.

  • Safer Loading with the SafeTack Design – This patented slant load horse trailer design has a tack storage compartment that swings completely open like a second door.  It leaves a wide open entry way for your horses to load and unload.
  • Reverse Load Design Available – If you choose this option, your horses will load through a side door and ramp and walk into a rear facing stall. (Check out the video below to see this in action!)  There is increasing evidence that horses haul with less stress and fatigue in the rear-facing orientation.  Best of all, they can simply walk off the back of the trailer to unload.  They’ll never need to back again!

  • Z-Frame® technology – Our trailers are both lightweight and strong.  The Z-Frame chassis is far superior to aluminum-framed trailers since it will protect your animals in the case of an accident.
  • “No Leak” SafeBump® Roof System – Unlike most trailers on the market, our single piece fiber-composite roofing system does not need regular maintenance to seal against leaks.  Plus, it is designed to flex and protect your horse’s head while regulating the interior temperature of the trailer on hot days.

Customize Your Living Quarters
