Every time I read stuff like this, I'm very glad for the trailer I have!  I
have a step-up, 3-horse slant with double doors and a *swing out* tack
room.  It's easy to load, doors aren't that heavy (altho swinging the tack
room in if you're parked on a slant at all can be a bit heavy), and you can
turn every horse around and unload head first.  Too bad the guy quit making
trailers since I'd really recommend his styles.  There must be *someone*
out there that makes them with this configuration!
