Thank you for explaining that your trailer should have at least 2 1/2 feet above his withers to the ceiling. My sister is looking to buy a horse trailer, but has been wondering what she should look for before looking at some potential options. I’ll share this with her so that she can more accurately determine the measurements that she’ll need for her trailer.

Great tips but how on earth could you give 2.5 feet of clearance over the withers? My horse is small in the hunter jumper world at 16 h. That’s 5’4″ plus 2’6″ would put us at almost 8 feet! I’ve not seen anything over 7’6″ that can be pulled by a truck. Semis are taller of course.
