Horse Trailers
Horse trailers are designed to make transporting horses straightforward, whether you are travelling locally or heading further afield for training or competition. The right trailer not only makes towing easier, it also plays an important role in keeping horses calm, balanced and comfortable during the journey.
At Cutlers Sales & Hire, we supply a range of new and used horse trailers from trusted manufacturers including Cheval Liberte and Equi-Trek, with options suited to different horses, vehicles and levels of experience.
How to Choose the Right Horse Trailer
Modern horse trailers are designed with horse welfare in mind. Features such as improved suspension systems, ventilation and carefully considered layouts all contribute to a more stable and comfortable travelling experience.
This is particularly important for horses that are sensitive to movement or for journeys where time on the road is longer. Not all horse trailers are the same, and the right choice depends on how you travel and what your horse is comfortable with, it’s important to consider;
- How many horses you need to transport
- Trailer layout and loading style
- Your towing vehicle and experience
- How frequently you travel

Keep up the good workPosted on Google Tom BramfordTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was in need of a transporter as soon as possible so I emailed Cutlers with my needs and the morning after Jack called me and we discussed what I needed and they had what I needed in stock which was excellent. They fitted some extra items and supplied a hitch lock I requested. Jack was excellent and a pleasure to deal with. Their premises are modern and impressive stock available. I would recommend these to anyone after any kind of trailer. I’ll be switching to these guys for servicing too! Keep up the great work and service!Posted on Google Aron BakerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Nigdy w życiu nie spotkałem milszej obsługi niż tutaj na żadnym z rozładunków. Pan przyjął dostawę o godzinie 20:00!! 5/5 gwiazdek, rozładunek poszedł w parę minut a samochód był cały załadowany. Świetna robota i świetna firma!!!Posted on Google Sarah MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service! Picked up a Devon double motorbike trailer, the only one we could find close enough to the South of England, so if you need one go to Cutlers! Really smooth process and accommodating. Thank you again! Made it all the way to Geneva and will be the touring Europe with it!Posted on Google Appreciating Classics LtdTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Previously used Jack when purchasing our Race Transporter 4, service was absolutely brilliant. Aftersales/customer service has been superb as well!Posted on Google Richard BlundellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called Cutler's Sales & Hire Ltd - Equi-trek Derby a couple of weeks ago (April 25) as I was looking for a new car transporter trailer - spoke to Jack who was very helpful. Having never owned or used a trailer before I didn't quite know what to expect so I went to see Jack who was very helpful and talked me through the various options. A great location, very modern/new premises with plenty of space and stock. As most of the other reviews mention Jack was not pushy at all - very professional. I placed an order shortly after and collected the trailer a couple of weeks later as I had to wait for my towbar to be fitted. They had the trailer in stock (which was a bonus) and couldn't be happier. A very seamless transaction. I would definitely recommend and use again without hesitation. Thanks Jack
Horse Trailers - Frequently Asked Questions
What size horse trailer do I need?
The right size depends on how many horses you intend to transport, their size and how frequently you travel. While a single horse trailer may be suitable for everyday use, larger setups can offer additional space and flexibility for competitions or longer journeys.
What is the difference between a single and double horse trailer?
Single horse trailers are generally more compact and easier to tow, making them a popular choice for individual owners. Double horse trailers provide additional capacity and are often preferred by riders travelling with multiple horses.
Are horse trailers suitable for long-distance travel?
Modern horse trailers are designed with comfort and stability in mind, making them suitable for both short and long journeys. Features such as suspension systems, ventilation and trailer layout all contribute to a better travelling experience.
How do I know if my vehicle can tow a horse trailer?
Towing suitability depends on the trailer weight, horse weight and your vehicle’s towing capacity. Checking the manufacturer’s towing limits and seeking advice before purchase can help avoid issues later.
What is a herringbone horse trailer?
A herringbone trailer positions horses at an angle rather than facing forwards. Many owners prefer this layout because it can help horses balance more naturally during transport, particularly on longer journeys.
Are horse trailers easier to own than horseboxes?
For many owners, horse trailers offer a more flexible and cost-effective solution. If you already have a suitable towing vehicle, a trailer can provide an effective alternative to owning a dedicated horsebox.
Which horse trailer brands do you stock?
We supply horse trailers from trusted manufacturers including Cheval Liberte and Equi-Trek. Both brands are well known within the equestrian industry and offer a range of solutions for different requirements.
What should I look for when buying a horse trailer?
Important considerations include the number of horses being transported, loading style, ventilation, suspension and overall towing characteristics. Choosing a trailer that suits both horse and owner can make travelling safer and more enjoyable.
