2004 Cherokee 4 Horse Gooseneck Trailer with 4 ft Dressing Room

Description

Four Head, a Dressing Room and Tack Storage at Both Ends

Most four-horse goosenecks make you choose between tack space up front and tack space near the stalls. This 2004 Cherokee gives you both. The 4 ft dressing room carries a 2-tier saddle rack, a 4-tier blanket bar, bridle hooks and boot bars, while a collapsible rear tack adds a 4-tier saddle rack, more bridle hooks and a brush tray right where you are working at the trailer.

That rear tack collapsing is the detail that matters. On loading day it folds out of the way so the stalls open up, and the rest of the time it holds four saddles within arm’s reach of the horses. For a rider hauling to shows or a small operation moving four head regularly, it saves a dozen trips to the front of the trailer.

Ventilation is handled properly too. Drop-down windows on the head side let each horse get air at the face, sliding bus windows at the rear keep a cross-breeze moving, and roof vents plus fans in the horse area take the edge off a hot haul. Stud-hanging mats on each slant do the quiet work of keeping horses from rubbing on the dividers.

• Escape door

An escape door is worth calling out on any slant-load. Once the front horse is tied and you are standing between it and the wall, that door is how you get out without squeezing back down the length of the trailer, and it is the first thing an experienced hauler looks for.

On a trailer of this age, the floor is the item that decides everything else. Pull the mats and look at the boards or planks underneath, particularly along the edges and under where urine collects, because that is where rot starts. Then work through the tires by date code rather than tread depth, test the brakes on a slow roll, and check that the breakaway battery still holds a charge. None of that is unusual for a twenty-year-old gooseneck; it is simply the checklist.

The towing side is not negotiable. A loaded four-horse gooseneck is well past what a half-ton can handle, so you need a bed-mounted hitch and a truck rated for the loaded weight, with a brake controller set for a heavy trailer rather than a utility one.
