Maybe Exiss is not the right trailer for you. FeatherLite offers a wide range as well.
Bigger horses will appreciate the roomy stalls in the Featherlite Model 8552 horse trailer. Trailer owners, on the other hand, will enjoy all the values and features associated with a Featherlite horse trailer including a deluxe camper door, standard gravel guard and all the benefits of all-aluminum construction. Don’t let your horses ride business class!
Big horse trailer Model 8552 is a slant load aluminum trailer that can be configured to hold 2 to 3 horses. It is designed for bigger horses with stalls that are 50” wide. The trailer itself is 7’6” wide and ranges from 18’ to 22’ long. Each horse gets one drop down feed door and one window with bars. The dressing room’s short wall is four feet long. The outside of the horse trailer boasts aluminum “wave” side panels, protective gravel guard and countless more options. Lack of space is definitely not an issue when it comes to these bumper pull horse trailers.
Also from FeatherLite are gooseneck models
8413 Combo Trailer
While other trailers offer you the option to carry either horses or livestock, Featherlite’s Model 8413 lets you do both. This gooseneck trailer is set up to haul either livestock or horses with optional center gates to split the cargo area, allowing you to do double duty. As an added bonus, owners can configure the 8413 as a straight or slant load, and the skid proof floor helps animals keep their footing in transit. Featherlite Model 8413 can also be fitted for hauling polo horses.
Featherlite’s combination livestock trailer and horse trailer Model 8413 starts at base lengths of 16’, 20’, 24’ or 28’ with many more sizes available if you desire. Its standard width and height are 7’ but can also be modified. The rear door is a full swing stock gate plus an escape door is also standard. On the outside, wraparound LED lights provide increased visibility, and aluminum “wave” side panels give this trailer a distinctive look.

It is Tuesday and our Equipment Highlight to continue on this August 23rd. For this edition we look at shoes for your horse. So farrier tools take the spotlight.
For the uninitiated there is more to a set of horse shoes than meets the eye. It takes talent, skill and the right tools to become a farrier. They date back to colony days in the USA. A farrier used numerous tools to craft a set of shoes. The farrier also had to be part veterinarian to understand the proper care of the hoof.
But onto the tools of the trade.
Farrier Tools
Farrier tools for forge work and for trimming and fitting horse shoes. Look under “Forging Tools” in the left hand menu for items suitable for hot metal work.
We will look at a few select tools as with every other area relating to horses there are options, hard to nail down all the choices.
Clinch cutters are used to straighten and cut the old clinches prior to pulling the shoe from the hoof. Clinch undercuts (gouges) are used to remove a tiny piece of hoof below the exit holes of nails just prior to clinching the new shoes.
|
Use a clincher to flatten tight clinches with very little effort. Our clinchers will work on high or low nails. Alligator, Curved Jaw, Straight, Saddlehorse, Farrier, and Gooseneck are some of the farrier clincher styles available at great prices.
|
Prime brands of hammers for the professional.
|
One of the best selections of driving hammers on the internet.
|
|
Good range of stands and prices aprox. between $60 and $300
|
Most testers are stainless steel but check individual descriptions
|
Selection of professional quality horse shoeing knives and various sharpeners.
|
A range of magnets for use on tool boxes, hoof stands, hammer handles, aprons etc. and for hooves
|
Range of mallets and hammers from Garland who are a U.S,A. manufacturer
|
Nail Nippers or Nail Cutters. They are the same thing with different names. Check our selection and find the one that suites you.
|
|
Again we offer a great range of nippers and a variety of prices, all are professional quality.
|
top quality products buy top companys
|
|
Large rasp selection including the Vallorbe rasp from Switzerland
|
You will like the large selection of quality rounding and turning hammers.
|
|
|
|
These sample offer an idea of the wide range of tools. There are two other tools that are a must when ones career is farrier. An anvil and fire, actually a forge!
Start with an anvil, the farrier apprentice or one in the trade knows that the right anvil makes all the difference when forging the shoes.
Cliff Carroll
Prices listed are available for online orders only. Items for pick up in our store will include added shipping charges.
TFS
TFS has been in the anvil manufacturing business for several decades, providing quality anvils for the professional farrier, blacksmith, knife maker and hobbyist ranging in weight from 30 to 500 pounds.
All are cast steel and heat treated to exact specifications and hand finished in their shop, ensuring that all of our anvils are of the highest quality.
You have the tools, now for the forge
Here are coal powered options
There are also numerous gas forges available as well. If you yearn for the blacksmith shop from colonial times then coal is probably your choice.
Variety abounds when it comes to choosing the tools you need to be succeed as a farrier. So get fired up!

As with any tensioned fence, bracing is important to a long-standing fence system. Instructions are included with your order. Horizontal and/or diagonal bracing is recommended. Concrete is needed with some applications and locations |
The white picket fence look not for you then how about..
Finish-Line Monofilament Fence
 Bayco Finish Line Horse Fence is unique. Designed at Bayer Laboratories to be a safe, maintenance free alternative to fences designed with high tensile wire.
Bayco Finish-Line Horse Fence is designed to give or stretch should your horse have a forceful impact with the fence. The ability of the fence to give upon impact protects your horse from harmful injuries that do occur with other fencing materials.
Bayco Finish-Line Fence means no cut skin; no torn tendons; no broken limbs.

- “SAFETY ALWAYS” Finish-Line fence was design with the help of large animal veterinarians’; greatly reducing the chance of horse injuries.
Do you need an electric fence? Here is one of many options.
ElectroBraid™ Fencing
The safe, secure, permanent, low cost electric fence
invented out of love for horses
ElectroBraid™ is an easily installed, permanent electric fencing system designed to provide a safe and secure horse fence. It is strong, durable, resilient, and a fraction of the cost of other electric fencing systems. This safe electric farm fencing can stand alone as a permanent perimeter fence, or it can be moved around for rotational grazing, and can be used as a portable or temporary fence for horses, sheep, cattle and other livestock. ElectroBraid™ is also a very cost-effective fence to exclude deer, moose, elk, caribou, bear, coyote and other animals from crops, airfields and highways.
Many prominent equine vets say ElectroBraid™ is one of the safest horse fences. At least 40,000 horses are now fenced behind ElectroBraid™. The ElectroBraid™ Fence System is designed to minimize injuries and secure horses safely. There are no sharp points or hard edges; no boards to break or splinter. Perhaps most important, your horses are amazingly stress-free inside ElectroBraid™. Because they are herd animals, horses want to clearly see the other horses. They want to see there are no predators. Stallions can watch their mares! Horses simply don’t run the fence line with ElectroBraid™.
Electro Braid™ Fence in Combination with Vinyl Fence 
Electro Braid™ Fence with Wood Posts
ElectroBraid™ combines resilience with barrier strength. Like a boxing ring, ElectroBraid™ absorbs force and springs back. The outer braided jacket is made of very high grade of polyester fiber – as used in auto seat belts and parachute harnesses. This polyester fibre is dimensionally stable; after stretching, it returns to its original length.
What does ElectroBraid™ look like?
ElectroBraid™ looks like high quality braided yachting rope. A double helix of copper wire conductors is braided into the outer jacket of the rope. 3 or 4 strands of Braid™ of ¼ inch diameter are mounted on electrical insulators on fence posts. Fence posts can be wood, vinyl, steel or fiberglass, spaced 30 to 50 feet apart. The Braid™ comes in white, black or speckled.
 Why is it new and different?
Traditional electric cattle fencing uses small diameter steel wires which are hard for horses to see. The ropes of ElectroBraid™ are highly visible. Their break strength is equal to the steel wire but they are resilient like the ropes in a boxing ring. ElectroBraid™ can absorb the energy of a panicked horse at full gallop and will typically bounce the horse back into its pasture with no harm to horse or fence.
How durable is ElectroBraid™ Fence?
The high-grade polyester fiber is the same fiber used in automotive seat belts and parachute harnesses. Polyester resists attack by ultra-violet light, salt, manure and most farm chemicals. The copper develops an oxidized outer layer or ‘patina’ that protects the copper wire from corrosion. The Braid™ carries a 25 year warranty. A quality energizer can last up to 10 years.
How does it work?
ElectroBraid™ Fence is both a physical barrier and a psychological deterrent. Once a horse receives a painful shock the horse will not go near the fence again. It won’t rub against the fence. It won’t crib on it. And it won’t try to jump over it or go through it or go under. It doesn’t want to get shocked again.
 What makes ElectroBraid a safe horse fence?
There are no impact injuries. There are no sharp points or hard edges. There are no boards to break or splinter. There are no wires to cut or puncture. Horses crib on board fences and rub against it. Even minor cuts can become seriously infected. The worst potential injury with ElectroBraid™ is if a horse is able to wrap a strand of Braid™ completely around a rear leg and struggles. The prospect of such an accident can be virtually eliminated by wiring and grounding the fence correctly, by keeping the Braid™ taut and by using an ElectroBraid Fence Minder™.
Why is it so secure?
ElectroBraid™ has the same break strength as high tensile wire and, because it is so resilient, a horse can’t break it. By contrast with conventional fencing that is not electric, ElectroBraid™ shocks a horse. The horse doesn’t understand the shock – – it just wants to stay well clear in future. A horse has never voluntarily jumped ElectroBraid™ Fence, to our knowledge.
How can ElectroBraid™ protect an existing fence?
Mount ElectroBraid™ as a single strand on top of almost any fence. The psychological deterrence to horses is dramatic. One stallion that regularly jumped his pipe and cable fence, to impregnate a neighbor’s mares, never jumped the fence again after a single strand of ElectroBraid™ was added. (Don’t use cheap high tensile wire or polywire – – they are both unsafe to horses).
Electro Braid™ as a Board Protector
Many other kind of fences are available for your particular application. Happy fencing.
