| Horse Trailer Review: We go into horse trailer factories and watch the welding, riveting, painting and fabricating. By watching horse trailers get built from the ground up, we can see where the reinforcing fishplate, gussets and braces go.

Stable Boy Aluminum Modular Horse Stall System
MrTrailer Reviews: Trucks Towing Trailers and Trailer Accessories.
  Trailer Electronic Technology for Safer, Easier Connection. EZ is a magnetic connection, powerful magnets. Just get the male end near the female plug and “pop” it sucks together. A tab slot align the socket and plug to match the right connections. The male end has two silicone o-rings, the cables have sealant injected inside, all to make the system water proof. If you can keep the water out, you can keep the mud and all the corrosive chemicals used to dissolve ice on the highway out. Spent my share of nights with a flashlight in my mouth in the rain as I work on trailer lights. See the horse trailer review…. |

  Finally ABS brakes for trailers ! Fast, smooth and safer than any brake system we’ve tried. We took our test trailer to the race track, smoked the brakes, burnt the seals and proved how dramatically superior hydraulic disc rotors, electric-hydraulic actuators, ABS modules and a trailer brake controller that networks with your trucks computer can be. Electric brake drums didn’t stand a chance in our side by side comparison. A big step toward safer trailering on our crowded highways and unpredictable weather patterns. Share this detailed report about the difference ABS trailer brakes can make. |

  Factory Review: Featherlite can pump out thousands of trailers a year, from horse trailers, cargo trailers, car haulers, NASCAR race trailers, specialty semi trailers, helicopter pads and portable emergency rooms for events like Katrina. Featherlite was the first aluminum specialty trailer born in 1973 when I was sophomore in high school. Featherlite started the trend in1985 with torsion axles, ahead of the crowd. Better ride than leaf springs and safer. See the models and features being built |
 Automated Safety Hitch, Joe Jamieson thinks towing is an evolutionary process, should improve issues of safety and ease of use. Now with thousands of miles towing with the Automated Safety Hitch, I understand it’s importance and fun. I can take my rig, which at times is 72 ft. long, weave in and out of hotel parking lots, gas stations and switchback mountain roads. The braking steer axle makes it quadra-steer. The four features that standout the most using this new trailer technology is, improved braking, lane to lane direction changes staying in your lane (turning corners,) stability and jackknifing with purpose.

  Towing with 2011 Toyota’s, Cimarron and Titan Trailers Tundra full size 1/2 ton is a top towing truck in it’s class. Towing ability is the hidden equation with most trucks. Marketing departments keep the public confused on how much trucks can tow by bragging about a trailer towing weight and then in the fine print explaining that weight is only for a 4×2 regular cab. |
| Finally there’s hope comparing truck models towing ability. SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) has established towing standards that go into affect 2013.

 Cimarron’s New EZ Angle Hay Rack Ladder Do you use your hay rack? Most horse trailer rack ladders are not easy to climb nor are they very heavy duty. Cimarron knows how to make ladders that don’t bend or flex, one of the best factory hay rack ladders in the business. You can lift your bales, gas can, bags of feed and spare tires right up the ladder. Having the ladder pull away from the trailer at 22 degrees makes it less work. It’s hard to climb straight up a barn style ladder. More…. |

It’s time again for our truck shootout. Every couple of years, we have enough all new trucks in a category to compare. Of course it’s with trailers, towing up 7 and 16 % grades, drag racing the 1/4, testing brakes, exhaust brakes, grade shifting and fuel mileage. It’s a long report with details, graphs, charts and journalist assessment. If you want to know how to judge a truck to tow your trailer, here is the guide on new trucks.   Step Above trailer ladder. I’ve said it before, most folks don’t use their hay racks. Mainly because it’s too hard to get to. A big share of factory hay rack ladders don’t cut it. Too narrow, flimsy or just plain scary.Step Above is a slide-out aluminum ladder that makes the roof of your trailer an easy trip and safe. Having the right angle slanted away from the trailer takes the work out of climbing a ladder just like your step ladder you use around the house. Step Above slides out to the ground, just the right slope for climbing. More… |
  GanderLock, when you’re serious about Protecting your Gooseneck Trailer and TackProtect your trailer as well as your expensive saddles, bridles, tools and flat screen TV.Goosenecks are different from bumper pulls, if you just lock the coupler, the thief’s loosen the set bolts, slide out your adjustable coupler and put their own back in and away goes your investment.

 Blue Ribbon Trailers started manufacturing stock trailers in Oklahoma, with the addition horse trailer models; they quickly out grew that facility. In order to produce a full line of horse trailers with living quarters, Clint Leonard decided the most cost effective means would be to move the manufacturing to Ohio. Suppliers were closer, with aluminum extrusions produced less than a mile away, rubber mats of course coming from the rubber capital, Akron Ohio close by. This was the perfect scenario for the hands on approach Clint was looking for producing top of the line trailers. More…. |

 First time I herded Buffalo, I mean Bison and my first trip to Yellowstone, was a kick driving the all new 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser 200 series. The Land Cruiser was Toyota’s first vehicle to the US back in 1957. he Cruiser, makes a great tow vehicle. The ride and handling is smooth, you’re in a solid vehicle with very little outside influence like wind making no difference with a heavy 5690 lb curb weight. The Land Cruiser has the tightest steering I can remember. This makes driving fatigue go away. Rest of the review…. |

 Buying and Selling Horses at Auction. I walked up to the stall, circling the horse inside. I put her on the definite possibility list. My husband and clients looked at me as if I were a crazy person. They saw a raggedy, thin filly that was full of burrs, rough feet, matted mane, and a huge gash on her leg. I saw the beautiful fine boned face, the nice top line, the well rounded full hip, and straight legs. The filly had a deep calm eye….More….. |
 Preparing for Foaling. Many of the horse industries have their mares foaling as close to January 1 as possible to get the size and maturity needed for their sport. This results in many “Decembuary” foals, although most barns will never admit to owning one. The arrival of foals is exciting, but can be heart wrenching and exhausting as well. It helps to know your mares signs for foaling, have a foaling kit ready, and know when to call a vet. More… |
 Finding a Good Farrier By Melissa Brawner; Finding a good farrier can be a daunting task to say the least. A good farrier is in high demand, and usually commands top dollar for every service performed. I have lived in Fort Lupton about 8 years, and have gone through 6 different farriers. We had one that couldn’t handle a horse, and with every move the mare made, he belly kicked her or slammed her with a rasp. We had a few that were fantastic, and then just disappeared into thin air, never to be…. More….. |

On the other hand the radius corners, smooth lines and beautiful welds make them seem like art. More… |
