A Buyer’s Guide to Horse Trailer Accessories

Just because your horse trailer came a certain way doesn’t mean it has to stay that way. There are lots of aftermarket accessories that you can invest in to make it safer and more comfortable for your animals. The list goes on and on, but we have provided some of the items we think are most important, at least to get you started.

A Water Tank

You’ll want to equip your trailer with a water tank of sufficient size for your animals. This must-have item will help you keep your horses hydrated, especially when traveling during the summer months. Plus, a water tank is useful for cleaning and washing your rig after a long trip. Think about the size of the container that will be ideal for your animals. Remember that a bigger tank is a better option for long-distance trips. For pressurized supply, you’ll need to add a water pump.

Trailer Tie

Most horse trailer owners who travel often prefer to equip their rigs with elevated trailer ties. This nifty accessory keeps your animals attached to your trailer while they graze freely. Attach your ties to the top portion of your trailer and secure your animals. This will give you the peace of mind you need when traveling with your horses.

Hydraulic or Jiffy Jack

Another handy accessory you’ll want for your horse trailer is a hydraulic or jiffy jack. This can come in handy in case you encounter a flat tire while traveling. As you may know, finding help on the road can be difficult at times, especially during the odd hours of the day. That’s why you must have an emergency tool kit to help fix a flat tire or other similar problems with your trailer.
