my wife is going to be buying a newer horse trailer real soon,as she doesnt like the 30 year old with no brakes one she has.i figure i can get a newer hunting trailer out of this deal.most horse trailers have no clearance.does anyone know of a trailer that would be good for both and where i could buy one that isnt a goose neck,as you loose the use of your box with them

Have the axle flipped. Should gain some clearance.

I've looked at the idea too.
Consider an all aluminum open stock trailer, 14 to 16 ft. , with removable front tack room divider , with proper rv type side door.

These guys will build what you want. http://www.ourokanagan.ca/business/cm-manufacturing-ltd.html

Horse and stock trailers are designed to keep the c of g as low as possible.
Have seen an air bag setup where adjustments can be made , but that one had torsion suspension and the guy built it onto a sub frame that was hinged.


Have the axle flipped.changing spring under to spring over gains about 5"

forgot to say she wants one with living quarters.im going to have to look at goose necks as the tires on a horse trailer are way in the back under the horses this gives way to much tongue weight with camper style.

That puts a whole different spin on things
You need to buy your own trailer more specific to what you need.
IF you have money left after she spends what one of those cribs costs.
