This 2002, 3 horse equispirt safe load horse trailer is in great condition. 2 oversized strait stalls and one slant. Each with its own access. Galvanized steel frame, aluminum insulated skin, makes this trailer sage, comfortable, and quiet. Large gooseneck dressing room. Always serviced and taken care of. New ramps, tires, completely gone thru summer of 2022 to make like new. Tows like a dream. Every horse has its own exit, and even hard loaders have seemed to love this trailer. Lack of use the past year, and a downsize in horses is the only reason we're parting with it. It deserves someone to use it and love it as much as we have. $22, 🥕 🥕 🥕.

🩷 Let Them Have a Horse...

Let them have a horse, let them ride,
Let them learn with dirt stained pride.
Give them reins and room to grow,
Show them truths only horses know.

Let them feel the morning chill,
Boots in stirrups, heart be still.
Let them fight for what they earn,
Through every fall, let them return.

Let them brush and braid and mend,
Make the barn their second home.
Let them whisper, laugh, and cry,
Beneath the endless, open sky.

Let them know the work is tough,
That love alone is only one part.
That feed needs hauling, stalls need cleaned...
That dreams are earned by hands that work.

Let them feel the wind in their hair,
And the freedom only horses share.
For horses teach what words cannot...
Strength, respect, and all they’ve got.

So when they ask, don’t think twice,
The price is high, but so’s the gain.
Because without a horse, they’ll never know, the kind of love that helps them grow.
