Looking for a Gooseneck, aluminum, 2 horse straightload, with dressing room. would like to stay around $10,000.
If anyone runs across one.
Would go higher for a used 2+1, haven't seen one yet and unwilling to fork out the $22,000 for a new one:-)

Yah, that would be a GREAT trailer Holly... that's the exact configuration I would like to have - even with a mini-weekender LQ package in the gooseneck. I just don't like slants as much as straight loads. Many people love slants, and so most goosenecks are made to be two or three-horse slants. Keep your eye on Craigslist, occasionally you'll see something of interest on there!

most of the ones GN I have seen are either steel that rusts. Or slant load.
I was originally going to purchase a 3 horse slant ...but after spending several afternoons pretending I was loading and unloading.....I don't think I am comfortable with the slant load..I am older and I want to be able to get the heck outta there if need be. The one sales man actually said "well you could always duck under the divider". Yeah thats where I want to put MY HEAD...right down there by a upset horses FEET. goofy sucker
I figure it I don't come across one soon they will have to have one at congress. LQ adds $$$, but you are right...would be perfect then :-)

Well you got me hooked on the horsetrailerworld site:-)
No I still have not found a trailer. After looking at how much the 2 horse straight loads cost, my husband is winning the argument for a 3 horse slant instead. They are close money wise. We went to go look at a nice one today. The guy bought it at congress in 2005 new and only used it 6 times.....He was nice enough to let me load his horse in and out a couple times so I could fiddle around with the dividers and get comfy with it.
I think it may be "the one" It is extra tall for the tb's and the back tack can be removed, so it opens all the way and you don't have to put the bar back in to lock the doors.
gotta justify the $$$.
thanks for looking for me:-)

Ya, but it's a fun addiction. I don't know about this year, but next year I may seriously think of replacing my ever rusting Bison stock trailer.

Oh, it is so much fun to dream. Anyone have a Equi Spirit trailer? Do you like it? They have some nice features but I had never heard of them.

I believe Equi Spirit is related to Trailet trailers, so you will find them similar. Hawk is also related to Trailet. Thus you will find all three quite similar. Beyond that, can't really tell you much as I don't know any one with that brand. I do know people with Trailets and Hawks that are quite happy.

There are a few threads about EquiSpirit over on COTH. Overall, the impression seems favorable.
