Four Head Without the Gooseneck Commitment
Hauling four horses usually means a gooseneck, a bed-mounted hitch and a truck bought specifically for the job. This 2008 C and C bumper pull offers a different route: four-horse capacity behind a properly rated conventional hitch, which keeps the truck bed free and the investment considerably smaller. For 4-H families, weekend riders and small programs that move four head a few times a month, that trade makes a lot of sense.
The option list is what lifts this one above a basic four-horse. A large front tack room takes saddles, bridles and grooming kit and keeps them out of the weather, while a separate rear tack puts the gear you need at the ramp within reach of the stalls instead of at the far end of the trailer. The hay pod carries feed for a long haul without stealing space from the horses, and mangers give each animal somewhere to eat on the road.
The escape door is the feature experienced haulers look for first. Loading the front horse in a four-place trailer can leave you with nowhere to go, and a dedicated exit turns an awkward moment into a routine one.

Buying a used four-horse means paying attention to the parts that carry weight. The floor is first: lift the mats and look at the boards or the aluminum planks underneath, particularly at the back where urine and water collect. Then check brake function on every axle, since a loaded four-horse is a substantial weight to stop, and look at tire date codes rather than tread depth, because horse trailer tires usually age out before they wear out. Roof seams and window seals are worth a look for the same reason.
On the tow side, a four-horse bumper pull loaded with animals, tack and hay is heavier than most people estimate. Work from your truck rating and hitch class, use a weight-distributing setup if the manufacturer calls for it, and take the first trip somewhere close to home to learn how it behaves in crosswind and under braking.
Layout matters as much as condition. Walk through your own routine on paper: where the horses stand, which door you use to load, where the hay lives and whether the tack arrangement suits how you pack. A trailer that fits your habits will get used far more than one that fights them.
