Trails West Trailers

A horse trailer is the one purchase where "good enough" is never good enough — your horses ride in it, your weekends depend on it, and it has to look as good rolling into the showgrounds as it did the day you bought it. Since 1987, Trails West Trailers of Preston, Idaho has built steel horse and livestock trailers around exactly that standard.

What Do Trails West Owners Say?

From the same letter: "In our trailer shopping experience we collected quite a few brochures on different brands, and I must say your brochure was the easiest to read, follow and understand.

What makes a Trails West trailer different from an all-aluminum rig?

Trails West builds every trailer around a combined steel frame wrapped in corrosion-resistant aluminum skins, the engineering choice the company describes as the best of both worlds. The steel structure carries the load and crash energy the way aluminum welds cannot, while the .050 aluminum exterior sheets and anodized aluminum extrusions shrug off the road salt and weather that rust a bare-steel trailer. You get the strength buyers want under the floor and the lighter, better-looking, longer-lasting exterior they want at the showgrounds, at a price most all-aluminum competitors cannot touch.

Who builds them, and where?
Trails West Trailers was founded in 1987 in Preston, Idaho on a simple premise: to serve customers best, you need a straightforward operation with honesty as the core value. More than three decades later the company still builds its entire line in-house at its Preston facility, designed by people who ride and haul themselves. The corporate headquarters sits at 65 North 800 West, Preston, Idaho 83263, and the same family-run, no-frills philosophy that started with a single model now drives a full catalog of horse, stock, living-quarters, and recreation trailers.

What goes into the horse compartment?

The horse area is built for the animal first: triple-wall construction with lined and insulated roof and walls, a 2x10 Douglas Fir floor, rubber mats, and a stall light in every compartment. Trails West's signature slam-latch divider system lets one person open or secure a 41-inch stall divider with a single motion, and custom drop-down feed doors with face grills, sliding tail-side windows, and pop-up roof vents keep horses fed, ventilated, and visible on the road. Torsion axles, four-wheel electric brakes, easy-lube hubs, and radial tires on aluminum wheels handle the ride underneath.

Which model fits your hauling?

The lineup spans the Classic, Sierra, Adventure, Adventure MX, and Royale horse trailers, with both gooseneck (2- through 6-horse) and bumper-pull (2- through 4-horse) configurations and floor lengths from roughly 14 feet to 27 feet 6 inches. Haulers who need true stock capacity look to the Hotshot, Santa Fe, and Adventure Open Stock, while the RPM and RPM Freeride recreation trailers carry snowmobiles and toys. Most are 7'0" wide by 7'0" tall as standard, with axle ratings scaling from 3,500 lb on a two-horse up to 6,000 to 7,000 lb on the larger goosenecks.

What do the living quarters models include?

The 7 Ft. and 8 Ft. Living Quarters trailers turn a horse trailer into a weekend base camp. Standard amenities run to a two-burner cooktop with range hood, refrigerator, galley sink with wood-trimmed countertops, a microwave/convection oven, a 25" x 30" shower stall, a fresh-water flush toilet, a queen bed, an 18,000 BTU furnace, air conditioning, and a 6-gallon DSI water heater. Floor plans range from the 7'x7' Weekender up through 10'x15' layouts, and premium packages add alder-wood cabinetry, LED accent lighting, slide-out rooms, generators, and solar.

How does Trails West back the build, and where do you buy?
Every trailer carries a three-year paint and trim warranty, a five-year limited structural warranty, and an eight-year limited floor warranty, reflecting the company's pitch of years of trouble-free service and best value in the industry. Buyers configure their own rig through the online trailer builder on trailswesttrailers.com, then use the dealer locator to find a selling dealer. Trails West can be reached directly at or, with the factory at 65 North 800 West / P.O. Box 67, Preston, Idaho 83263.
