While I was watching this I found myself singing, "10-4 buddy, come on back, a horse trailer on a Cadillac." Good ole Chris. :)
Carmella, for a newbie to the world of hitches and towing, you did an excellent job explaining the details in a clear and concise way. Ya did good!!
Thank you! Iâve been doing a lot of research lately đ
Oh my goodness. How your channel has grown! I remember when you just had a little over 1k and got my sub with a frog joke making the horse jump higher. Great work!

Very interesting to see the difference between the USA and (mainland) Europe! Pretty much all trailers are straight-load trailers here. Some people choose (small) trucks/lorreys which have fixed space for horses in the back. Our trailers also seem quite a bit smaller and are lighter. My own trailer for 1 horse is 1200 pounds. A 2 horse trailer here (with storage for tack/saddle) would be around 2000 pounds.
Gooseneck trailer is more maneuverable, easier to couple to the truck because you can see the connection points compared to a RECEIVER HITCH ( like your Tahoe) where the trailer tongue disappears from view as you back in closer to couple to it. Tahoes are cool and all, but, well aaa....youll see. You briefly touch on trailer brakes (electric type I hope). I hope you had a quality Electric Brake Control box installed in your Chevy. Hitch an empty trailer and drive about and tune the Electric Brake Control (learn it). I hope Tucker loves his new RV.
This was very helpful. Thank you.
i have just been looking about horse trailiers and havent found much and i just found this and this is very helpful thank you!! :)
My pleasure! Itâs hard to find good information on the topic!
Good luck! ^^
@@CarmellaAbel it's cool that you comment back to people
Great job ! Iâll need to know all of this one day !
This was really informative, thanks!
Thanks for this!!!! Itâs a huge help
Amazing vids as always
Years ago I read an article on this subject in a friend's horse magazine. The only thing I can remember about it is you should have a factory installed tow package on your vehicle. Something about fewer welds and weak points when it's done in factory. Thanks for the video, now I have the rest of the information I need đ
Good information in this video. Thank you
i got my first horse a few weeks ago and your videos have helped me so much my horse :)
Oh, that's nice! I'm going through something similar
Just a few more days and my lease horse will be official đ„°
This will be helpful thank you đ
Happy Friday : )
Thank you so much for you help :D
thanks i have been looking for a new trailer
I love your vids â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
Pleaseeee, tell us how you know so much about horses, did you take a class?, what did you study?, what is your work?, I wanna live an equinne life but I dont know how
could you make a video on what you feed tucker
Pulling weight is hard on a transmission. If you are hauling often, keep that in mind.
you should make one of these but like instead for telling if the horse might be for you, also i love your content :)
Iâm not going to have to worry about how heavy the stuff is and everything because my dad has a trucking company and he has six different F150 Fordâs and he brings another 7000 pounds on his trailer not including the cars on it.
Bumper pulls are harder to maneuver
So few trailers have 8ft ceilings and ive been looking for a long time within my budget. Seems they only built custom, sad me
Can you please help me with fineing a new trailer
Completely unrelated but I have a question about horse training. Iâm purchasing my first horse after doing lessons for about 8 years. Itâs an 8 year old QH gelding from the SPCA but he isnât saddle broke ( heâs only halter broke but the seller said heâs had a saddle on him once). And I was wondering if I should train him to ride without a saddle first or start with a saddle and then go bareback.
I don't know much about horses but I would say train him or her without a saddle so your horse could get used to weight on their back
@@jenmiller5303 thatâs what I was thinking to do aswell since I also have a lower paying job so itâs gonna take a while to get the money for certain tackâŠ.. Kijiji and eBay are my best friends rn. But I do want to see others opinions
@@cottage_fr0g94 yeah Idk where you could find better prices but I know fleet farm had some saddles
@@cottage_fr0g94 also I would recommend looking for tack at Facebook market place.
My question is is there such thing as a 6 horse trailer or is that what this is? I plan to get a lot of horses!đđđ
they do make massive trailers like that but they are incredibly large and heavy, i have no idea what sort of monster truck it would take to pull one of those lmao
Thanks!đđ
@@rararasputin1847 also how many horses would that pull?
@@jenmiller5303 the largest i've seen is a 6-horse trailer. anything larger than that might just be unreasonable and it would be better to have two trucks and two trailers. however, even during shows and stuff it's highly unlikely you'd fill the trailers!
@@rararasputin1847 thanks for the good info! đ I have been looking for it everwhere
what is the meaning of your tattoo????
I have a horse I brought home from the traffic in Morocco. Complete invalid due to arthritis. I'm not sure why I wrote this comment. I guess horses are cool. However donkeys are easier to handle.
Three donkeys, all from the traffic.
Personally, I want a reverse straight load. Theyâre pricier, but horses are more comfortable facing away from travel. But nice video!
Same but I need 8ft ceilings as I dont want to replace the trailer as the horse grows
Omg hii
Earlyyyy yayyy
Yea same
