[RC] Important Things in an LQ Trailer - Carolyn BurgessHere is what I found after buying our (happily, I have them): 1) A mid-tack is essential. Gives you a place to store everything and it is not in the LQ (especially important to store stinky blankets and pads after a ride). Doubles as a mud room (only if you get a door from the mid-tack into the bathroom. This is really nice if you are muddy or soaked. You can strip in the tack room and go right in and shower. 2) 1 stall more than you plan to carry horses. If you regularly haul 2 horses, then get a 3 horse trailer. This is the spot where you put your portable corral, hay, shavings and everything else that can't or shouldn't go in the mid-tack. 3) Awning (actually 2 - one on each side). One is for you, so you can enjoy outside, even if it is pouring or very sunny. The second on the other side is protection for your horse. 4) A generator. The ones that come with the trailer are nice, but expensive. We bought a cheap one from Home Depot, that works, but is noisy. We are getting a quieter Honda generator this year, at 1/2 the cost of the dealer installed one. They are so quiet that you can put them under the gooseneck and run them all night. 5) A corner water tank. The water tanks that come with the trailer will only give you enough water for you. We bought a 35 gallon corner tank from Country Supply for $100 plus shipping of about $25. You can get the same tank for the same price at Valley Vet. They come in two sizes: 25 and 35 gallons. Get the bigger one.
