One of the first things you need to do is decide what you expect to do
with your trailer. Do you only want to haul 1 or 2 horses? Or more? Do you
ride or drive, or both? If you drive or think you will in the future, you
need to decide whether to get a trailer that can accommodate a cart or if
you want to mess with having to load it in the back of the truck. Which
leads to another decision. Bumper pull or gooseneck? Straight load or slant?
Ramp or step up? Steel or aluminum? Lots of decisions. As far as the
condition of a used trailer, pull up the mats and check the floor. Look
underneath too. Check the wiring. Do the lights and brakes work? What kind
of shape is the body in? If any of it needs work, do you want to deal with
it? I'm sure others on the list will have more to add. Good luck!
