Trailers

All trailers should have:

  • Secure footing, such as rubber mats, on the floor to provide traction and cushioning for pack or saddlestock being loaded, unloaded, and transported.

  • Racks or sideboards.

  • Trailer brakes for all trailers 1500 pounds gross trailer weight and over. The brakes must be set to engage when the driver in the towing vehicle applies the normal truck service brakes.

  • A round metal or rubber bumper for the rear of the trailer.

  • Appropriate height and length clearance, and no sharp edges or loose boards that might injure pack or saddlestock during transport.

Always check your trailer for a sound floor in good condition.
