The NEW & IMPROVED EquiSpirit!!!

It has always been our intention for EquiSpirit to continue to evolve so our design is the safest, and the construction is the best. When we see that something can be improved, we feel it’s important to make those changes. For years, EquiSpirit was an “indirect manufacturer”. In other words, we contracted with a trailer manufacturer to build the EquiSpirit trailer according to our own design specifications, which, in the beginning, were very different from how trailers were being built at the time.

We were the first to...

Offer a trailer specifically for warmbloods and other large horses.
Use our own experience and knowledge to offer design features that greatly enhanced the health, safety, and well being of the horse and handler.
Add extra height and width.
Offer the combination of no rear center post, windows in the bulkhead wall, full doors with ramp over, quick release butt and breast bars, and completely removable interior dividers.

Since our beginning in 1988 we have been continually making improvements and adding additional safety features.

At the time, we chose the manufacturer who shared our own beliefs about construction to build the trailer for us. This worked very well until newer technology became available and we wanted to make some changes. Since we had limited control over the manufacturing process, we decided to move all production to North Carolina so that all aspects of the trailer, including research and development and living quarters, could be done all under one roof.

We now have our own factory!

Beginning in 2009, we have been able to have complete control of our design and manufacturing process. We have made many changes that improve the quality and safety of the EquiSpirit Horse Trailer. The new EquiSpirit has the same superior construction and safety as the previous EquiSpirit, but with many improvements that make it even better. Now with our own factory, we will continue to make improvements as new technologies becomes available.
