Re: [RC] aluminum trailers - safety - Carol SuggsCan't answer your direct question, (and I would like to know as well). But I can suggest that when you buy a trailer you might want to purchase one with a front stall escape door. Although no one ever expects to have a wreck, probably the most common are rear enders and sometimes when that happens the back gate gets so damaged that you can't open it. Therefore if you have a front stall escape door you can open it and lead the horses out thru there. This was one of the opinions I got on our Exiss trailer.

Is there any actual data on this or minimum requirements the trailer manufacturers have to meet?
