Horse Loading | Maple Lane Equestrian Trailers

An anxious horse and an anxious handler never have fun loading a trailer. European trailer engineers have designed a trailer with loading in mind.

The full-length loading ramp:

Reduces the angle of loading - easier to load/unload horses.
Allows a cautious horse to have all 4 feet on the ramp as it backs down, so it can have all four feet on the same plane.
Anti-slip rubber on loading ramps.
Galvanized steel spines to prevent ramp from flexing as horses come on and off.
Oil -filled shocks to ease raising and lowering.

Horses do not like to enter small enclosed spaces … so European trailers create a space that can be made as open as you require:

Fully removable divider can be swung to either side of the trailer, or entirely removed.
Lots of head room ahead of the chest bar to allow horses to lower their heads for balance and to clear their sinuses.
Different trailers for different horses and different trailering needs.
Chest and butt bars are adjustable from a 12 hand pony to an 18 hand warm blood.
Simple release system on chest and butt bars are easy to use.

Although most horses will learn to walk backwards off a trailer…some just won't! Ask Maple Lane Equestrian Trailers about front unload options!
