It's a 2006 Titan Avalanche I 3 horse slant, kind of entry level, but it's all I will ever need. I actually bought it a few weeks ago, but there were some modifications I wanted done.
Thanks to everybody for your advice on Titan trailers.

This was the modification I had done. The divider was solid and I wanted bars by the horse's head. He didn't match the paint exactly, but that's okay.

Your trailer is an actual horse trailer. Mine is called a stock/combo because of the open sides, not real handy for bad weather.
Variety is the spice of life.

WBay, don't be silly. You know she got it as an engagement gift from Kevin. :pOh no, Kevin would never get away with buying this kind of trailer. He wants to get one way nicer with a living quarters.;)

YAhoo what a nice shiny new-to-you trailer!!

ooooh, love the swing out saddle racks! Nice trailer, very VERY clean, can't believe it is 4 years old!It is in nice shape. It was always stored indoors which I had planned to do also but the only place it will fit is in the arena & I refuse to keep anything in there. My garage has 8' doors & the trailer is 8'3" tall.....so, now I must build something to keep it in:eek:

They do make covers for some horse trailers. It's not a barn, but I'll bet it's cheaper. Might tide you over.

Hey :eek: I was going to ask that :rolleyes:

I love that trailer! I have an open stock without dividers or tack compartment :( It's what I would want if I was getting a new one :)

I was going to ask the same thing, Jimmy looks pretty happy!!!!!! It's a beautiful trailer! I love the inside and how it's divided. The swing out saddle racks are nice too, my friends don't have anything like that and it's a pain in the neck to get the saddles in and out. Nice job. Good Luck with it, hope you are able to travel many miles with it. Happy Trails in the new trailer!!!! Congratulations on finding what you want.

Love the goat, what a cutie.

I wish I had somewhere to keep mine. Best I can do is a tarp over the top, but mine is not as gorgeous as yours!

Congrats. on your trailer. It looks very spacious. I am hoping to move up to a 3 horse slant next year. Well that is if I ever learn how to back up a horse trailer. :headscratch:
Right now mine just sits unless I can find a driver or unless we go somewhere where there is no chance of having to back in!!

Shelter Logic 12 x 24 x 10 Round Portable Garage Canopy

I just ordered this to keep the trailer in. I hope it works.
The trailer will be going in soon to be undercoated & have all the seams siliconed.
I have a friend who has a garage big enough to do it in & is willing to do it-for free!!!!
Tis good to have friends.;)

I taught myself with 2 toy cars, having one push the other backwards. I know it sounds weird but it did get the concept down in my head as to what I wanted to do.

Really?? I just may have to give that a try. Now I just have to find some little boy and steal his toy cars!!!:p We were practicing quite a bit, but lately there always has been someone else around that could do the driving so I kind of stopped.

Very, very nice!! I like the modification you added to it.... I think it helps some nervous horses to be able to see their next-door neighbors. Also adds a bit more ventilation too.

Also adds a bit more ventilation too.Yes, & also the only way to unhook & attach a lead rope (or vice versa) was to open the divider & walk up towards the front of the horses. It didn't sound too safe with an excitable horse. Now I can reach through & always have control, maybe. Thanks

Awesome! Congrats. It looks great.
Love the pictures! :)
Can you believe that my silly Crystal hates this kind of trailers? She'd hop right in to my tiny two horse bumper pull and when my friend comes to pick me up with a trailer very similar to yours, she would take good ten minutes with so much fuss, before she'd finally get in. No idea why she hates it.

No idea why she hates it.My guess is she doesn't understand the crazy things that go past her when she's in it. Really, a horse doesn't know it's going anywhere. It goes into a wiggly stall & watches different things go by, not realizing she is the one going past the things. That's my theory anyway.
