2005 Featherlite 2HST 2 Horse Trailer with 4 ft Dressing Room and 110v

Description

The Two-Horse That Plugs In

Two features lift this 2005 Featherlite 2HST above the ordinary used two-horse. The first is the dressing room, built on a 4-foot short wall instead of the 2 ft. or 3 ft. that most two-horse trailers make do with, which is the difference between squeezing past your own saddles and actually having somewhere to change and store rugs. The second is that it is wired for 110v power, so when shore power is available at a showground or a campground you can run lights, a fan or a charger without a generator or an inverter setup.

A walk-through door connects the dressing room to the horse compartment, meaning you can check on a horse or drop a hay net without going outside and around. For riders who camp or stay over at multi-day shows, that combination turns a basic trailer into a workable base.

Why the Aluminum Matters

Featherlite built its name on all-aluminum construction, and twenty years on you can see the argument for it. Aluminum does not rust, so the trailer is lighter on your tow vehicle and the body has kept its appearance in a way a steel equivalent of the same age rarely does. This unit is offered in very clean condition, which is a large part of why an older Featherlite still commands the money it does.

That 7 ft. 6 in. interior height is the number to pay attention to if you have a big horse. It is noticeably taller than the 7 ft. standard and gives a 17-hand animal real clearance rather than a bare inch. Against that, the 7,000 lb GVWR is the ceiling for the trailer, the horses and everything you load, and with a 2,800 lb empty weight that leaves roughly 4,200 lbs to work with, so two large horses with a full dressing room will not leave a great deal spare.

On an older aluminum trailer, look closely at the floor and the welds, especially where the floor meets the sidewalls, and test the 110v circuit properly rather than assuming it works. Tire date codes matter more than tread depth at this age. Every figure quoted here is approximate, so measure before you rely on it.
