Two Plus One: The Layout That Solves Awkward Loads
The 2+1 is the answer to a problem a straight three-horse cannot solve. Two horses ride in the rear stalls while a third travels in a separate front stall, which means a mare and foal can travel together and apart, a stallion can be hauled without company, or an extra horse can come along without stepping up to a full three-horse rig. This 2023 4-Star builds that layout into a 23 ft gooseneck measuring 6 ft 10 in wide and a full 8 ft tall, a height that gives warmbloods and larger horses room they rarely get.
4-Star has a long reputation for quiet, settled-riding trailers, and the engineered quiet ride on this unit is part of that. Noise and vibration wear horses down over a long haul, and a trailer that arrives with calm animals is worth more than one that simply gets there.
The floor is a WERM surface, which is poured, sealed and non-slip. It cushions joints on long trips, does not trap moisture the way mats over wood can, and hoses out cleanly. Loading runs through EZ Lift ramps that take the effort out of raising and lowering, which matters on a trailer this size and helps with horses that hesitate at a step-up. A hydraulic jack handles hitching and unhitching without a hand crank.
Specifications
- 2023 4-Star, 2+1 gooseneck configuration
- 23 ft long by 6 ft 10 in wide by 8 ft tall
- Engineered quiet ride
- EZ Lift ramps
- WERM cushioned, sealed, non-slip floor
- Hydraulic jack
- Walk-through door
- Carpeted walls in the tack room
- Sliding divider
A walk-through door lets you move between the front area and the horses without going outside, and the sliding divider lets you reconfigure the space as the load changes, which is the flexibility that makes a 2+1 worth the extra length. Carpeted tack room walls protect saddles and keep noise down.
Before ordering, confirm your truck carries a proper gooseneck hitch rated for the loaded weight and that the bed and rear axle can take the pin weight. Then think about the 8 ft height: it is an advantage for tall horses, but it is also a number to check against barn doors, overhangs and low branches on the route you drive most. At 23 ft plus the truck, plan your turning and your parking in advance.
When it reaches you, work the EZ Lift ramps and the hydraulic jack through full travel and look over the WERM floor at the edges and the doorways where wear starts.
