2003 Featherlite 2HST 2 Horse Aluminum Trailer with Walk-Thru Door

Description

A Clean Aluminum Two-Horse With the Details Right

Featherlite built its name on aluminum, and a 2003 2HST is a good example of why that mattered. The aluminum shell keeps the trailer light for its size, resists the corrosion that eats steel frames from the seams outward, and holds resale value better than most alternatives. This one is described as very clean throughout, with a 4 ft short wall giving the dressing room usable floor space rather than a token cupboard.

The walk-thru door is the feature that changes daily life with a trailer. Moving between the dressing room and the horse area without stepping outside sounds minor until you are doing it in rain, in the dark, or in a crowded showground where there is no room to walk around. Each horse gets its own marked-out feeding position at the manger, which also buys a little extra room up front, and the 110v wiring means you can plug in for lights and accessories at a show or a campsite instead of running everything off the truck.

Underneath, 3,500 lb axles on 15 in tires carry an empty weight of 3,000 lb toward a 7,000 lb GVWR, and a manual jack and a spare tire come with it, which keeps you self-sufficient if something goes wrong away from home.

The 7,000 lb GVWR is what makes this trailer easy to live with. Loaded with two horses and tack it stays inside the towing capacity of many half-ton and most three-quarter-ton trucks, which means you are not buying a new truck to go with the trailer. Still, weigh your actual load rather than estimating, and confirm your hitch rating and brake controller are up to the job.

Buying a 20-year-old aluminum trailer comes down to two things: the floor and the history of any repairs. Pull the mats and look at the floor where it meets the sidewalls, then look along the aluminum for prior damage, patched sections or welds that do not match the original. Check interior height against your horses, because 7 ft is right for standard-size animals but tight for a tall warmblood.
