Thank you so much for all these wonderful tips! I'm buying my 1st trailer on October 16th! 😊😊😊 I love these kind of videos since I'm really new at this.
Bought my first trailer a few months ago and while most everything you mentions seems like common sense, I've learned that common sense is not so common. You mentioned a few things that definitely make sense. Question going back to your "trailer organization" video, where did you find your saddle racks? Did they come woth your trailer? Ive been looking for something like that. Great videos!
So glad you found the videos helpful and thank you for commenting and great question! Those came with my sundowner trailer. Sometimes trailer companies will sell those parts but I've had good luck with grid walls and saddle racks that go on those (plus the endless storage you get with the accessories as well). I'll find a link to some and post in another comment.

Good list of practical, useful items. Pleased to be able to say we currently have 8 of the 12 between truck and trailer (flashlight, tool kit, toilet paper and first aid kit for humans in truck, fire extinguisher(s) in both truck and trailer, tire changing ramp, water containers, camp chairs and basic equine first aid supplies in trailer) and will look into the others.
@@TopFlightEquestrian Majority of the items I can think of would be the basic "horsey stuff" such as muck fork, broom, shovel etc. which I expect everyone has. Two things which I do find helpful are: 1 - Torque wrench to check wheel lugs before each trip, I have it set to 100 ft/pounds. Trailer wheels take a lot of sideways force when cornering so their lug nuts are more likely to become loose than ones on truck and 2 - a small carrying box with spray bottle of cleaning solution (Clorox Clean-Up works well) and some old towels for spot cleaning. Mostly it is for the green "sneeze residue" that gets on front wall and side doors. Cleaning these areas after each use makes it easier to do a thorough deep clean when it is time for one.
Thanks! Trailering my horses from GA to CO and I really appreciate it
Glad I could help!
Awesome list, and great video. Informative and funny! Lol
Thank you!!

So glad you found it helpful! Is there anything I left out that you find makes a big difference if you have it?
