The Best Double D Trailers Models for Warmbloods
Warmbloods are often 17+ hands, meaning that not just any trailer would be successfully tricked out to fit them. Luckily, our model range includes several trailer types and models that, once customized throughout, can safely, comfortably, and efficiently accommodate warmblood horses. Three of the most appropriate ones for hauling larger breeds are:
- SafeTack Reverse Living Quarters Horse Trailer
- Gooseneck 3-Horse Slant Load Trailer With Sleeping Quarters
- 3-Horse Slant Load Bumper Pull Trailer
SafeTack Reverse Living Quarters Horse Trailer
The SafeTack Revers LQ horse trailer is a gooseneck slant load model with living amenities that could work for your large warmbloods. If you travel frequently and crave a place to rest and prepare a meal after a long day at the track, then this is the right model for you. It’s designed to offer comfortable accommodation for you and three horses as standard, but it could be tailor-made to fit up to six, each with their individually designed and sized stall. The SafeTack Reverse Living Quarters model comes as standard with our patented SafeTack rear-mounted swing-out tack storage solution which is exclusive to Double D Trailers.
Standard Features
This model offers both spacious living quarters and sufficient stall space for warmblood horses measuring 17+ hands. It comes with a width of 96” inches as standard. Plus, it allows for forward or rear-facing orientation without additional costs or options thanks to the side ramp and door, all part of the standard equipment which also includes but is not limited to:
- A 10-ft living quarters short wall complete with a full-sized bathroom
- Plenty of living space with enough room for a 6-cubic foot fridge and hardwood cabinets

Thanks to the impressive list of standard features emphasizing safety, comfort, and convenience above all, the SafeTack Reverse Living Quarters model doesn’t sacrifice living amenities or horse space. Instead, it combines them into one functional trailer that’s a breeze to pull.
Size and Dimensions
The SafeTack Reverse Living Quarters horse trailer by Double D Trailers is as versatile as it could possibly be. The standard 3-horse configuration can be redesigned to fit between two and six horses. When you add the slant load configuration and the possible forward or rear-facing pattern, you get all the combinations you would ever consider when searching for the perfect trailer.
Even in its standard version, the trailer is 96” wide, which is enough to comfortably fit warmbloods. Its overall length is 32’ 8“, and that is remarkable considering the spacious living quarters and the horse area, which is suitable for larger horse breeds.
Customization Options
At Double D Trailers, we have vast expertise in building fully customizable horse trailers with and without living quarters. Brad Heath, owner and head designer, has spent 25+ years building horse trailers and has managed to introduce numerous innovations and technologies to the industry, some of which remain exclusive to Double D Trailers.

Gooseneck 3-Horse Slant Load Trailer With Sleeping Quarters

With its distinct V-nose front, comfortable sleeping amenities, and spacious stalls, this is a smart choice for horse owners seeking modern, comfortable means of transportation for their warmblood horses that also offer themselves a cozy sleeping area, all wrapped up in a trailer with an impressively compact size and a shorter-than-average wheelbase.
Standard Features
SafeTack 3-Horse Slant Gooseneck Trailers with Sleeping Quarters come with plenty of standard features ensuring the ultimate safety and comfort of horses and handlers while on the go and during multi-day events. The list includes numerous perks, such as

- Show day stall meant to offer sufficient space for grooming or rest during busy event days
- Sleeping quarters and a dressing room designed to be comfort and convenience

With an overall length of 25’6” and an inside height of 7’4” that can be increased up to 7’8”, the 3-horse gooseneck horse trailer with sleeping quarters is a relatively compact, practical model that can still safely and comfortably fit up to three warmblood horses and accommodate you in a cozy rest area.

3-Horse Slant Load Bumper Pull Trailer
The SafeTack 3-Horse Slant Trailer by Double D Trailers is not your average bumper pull model. It’s not only the safest one money can buy today but it also manages to solve a major problem: 3-horse bumper pulls typically do not offer immediate access to horses, especially the front-most one. This model removes the necessity of unloading two of the horses to get to the third one by allowing individual loading and unloading of each horse on demand.
Standard Features
3-Horse Slant Load Bumper Pull trailers are agile and easy to pull thanks to their shorter wheelbase. There are plenty of other standard features worth mentioning, such as
- SafeTack rear compartment for easy loading and unloading
- Dressing room with a convenient door for direct access to the horse area

Despite being only 18 feet long and 7'4 " high, the 3-horse SafeTack slant load bumper pull trailer can safely and comfortably accommodate three warmblood horses thanks to the optional 7'6" or 7'8" heights.
Customization Options
Our 3-horse SafeTack slant load bumper pull trailers can be tailor-made to fit 17+ hand horses with ease, and the slant configuration would allow easy access to each of them. There are tons of other custom options available, including:
- Side loading ramp for enhanced and safer loading and unloading (“walk on, walk off”)
- Onboard camera system for constant monitoring of your horses during hauling
- Rumber flooring for a non-slip floor surface resistant to contaminants
- Rear-facing layout for a better and more natural stance
- Variable stall sizes that can be individually adjusted for larger breeds such as warmbloods
Why Choose Double D Trailers for Your Warmblood Horse?
Double D Trailers has always prioritized the safety and comfort of horses and humans without sacrificing any effort toward achieving the ultimate build quality and offering a myriad of customization options for all available trailer types and models.
Our commitment to these factors has resulted in several patented innovations and the introduction of various technologies and materials that have taken our fabrication methods and build quality to a whole new level. Some solutions and enhancements we offer as standard equipment are:
- Z-Frame Technology: Steel tubing treated with zinc and chromate that’s as strong and flexible as steel, as light as aluminum, and more durable than both. We use it for key elements such as frames and interior dividers
- SafeTack Reverse: This revolutionary idea is part of the standard equipment of most of our trailers. It’s a rear-mounted tack compartment with a brilliant design that allows it to swing out to the side and completely get out of the way of rear loading and unloading
- SafeBump: It’s a roof system designed to comprise a single piece of fiber composite. As a result, it doesn’t leak or conduct heat, unlike aluminum ceilings. Plus, it lowers the trailer’s center of gravity and prevents injuries to horses’ heads.
- SafeKick Wall System: Horses need protection from injuries sustained after excessive kicking. This option comprises a mix of plastic and rubber (95:5 ratio) that provides much greater protection than plain walls with a thin layer of rubber.
What are the Advantages of the SafeTack Reverse Slant Load Design?
The patented SafeTack Reverse design is exclusive to Double D Trailers models. It solves a problem that has been around for years: providing a wide-open rear entry and allowing for much easier loading/unloading without sacrificing the practicality of having a tack compartment in the back of the trailer.
What’s unique about the SafeTack design is that the whole tack space swings out completely like a door, thus eliminating any obstacles that horses might find intimidating when loading or unloading. Typically, a fixed tack compartment blocks half of the door opening, creating difficulties for both horses and handlers.
How are Double D Trailers Customized for Warmblood Horses?
The extended customization program we’ve designed allows our trailers to be heavily modified in order to comfortably and safely fit warmblood horses. Starting with the height and width of the trailer, we can change more or less any area, aspect, and feature of the trailer to respond to your needs, expectations, and preferences. Since all Double D Trailers are well-equipped even in their standard versions, you have every chance of configuring your dream trailer with just a few reasonably priced adjustments.
Regardless if you only request changes in dimensions or want a custom-built model from scratch that completely reflects your vision down to the smallest detail, the process is the same: you can either use our online configurator or contact one of our friendly associates. Brad Heath, owner and designer of Double D Trailers, is always there to share his vast expertise and give adequate advice when needed. If you choose to have Double D Trailers build your new warmblood horse trailer from scratch, Brad will help you every step of the way.
Hear From Happy Customers with Warmblood Size Horse Trailers
Often, hearing a story straight from the mouth of another horse owner is the best way to get a feel for a product. That’s why we’re excited to share four case studies based on the stories of happy warmblood horse trailer owners. Each case illustrates how the safety and convenience features of our horse trailers can make all the difference. These testimonials are all about showcasing how we manage to achieve the ultimate customer satisfaction.
Case Study 1: Hungarian Warmblood/TB Cross
(Becky from Vancouver, WA)
Becky from Vancouver, Washington, wanted a horse trailer that would give both her and her horses plenty of room to move. She started her trailer search by doing a lot of research and getting advice from the people around her.
“This is my first trailer that I purchased,” she shared. “Probably, it'll be my last. So I paid a lot of attention to other people's trailers. I asked my vet and asked other people about trailers. I read some articles that said horses like to ride backwards. So I went out looking to buy a reverse haul trailer.”
When asked about the buying process, Becky replied, “It was easy!” Her interest in Double D Trailers began after viewing some of Brad's videos online. Luckily, there were several happy Double D Trailer customers in her region of the country, so she was even able to view a warmblood horse trailer in person and talk to its owner.
“Brad got me in contact with her. She let me come and look at her trailer. Hers is a bumper pull but it was a three-horse reverse with the SafeTack. She’s had horses forever and was happy with her trailer. She told me some things she liked about it.”
This conversation let Becky decide what features she really liked and wanted and what features she could do without. Since we only build custom horse trailers, each purchase can be customized to fit the buyer’s exact needs.
“Then I got in contact with Brad and started the process online. I think it probably took maybe a couple of weeks. That was more just me deciding what I wanted to add to it from what I could afford. Then we finalized it and they started building!”
As with our other stories, Becky has some very large horses that she hauls with her Double D Trailer. She explained, “I have a Hungarian warmblood / thoroughbred cross who’s 16.2H. I have a quarter horse who is 16.2H, and I have a paint. He’s about 15.3H. Then, I haul my neighbor’s Friesian…everybody’s been fairly large!”
With Brad's design help, Becky designed her trailer to have dimensions that will match her specific horses. “My stalls I believe are 50” wide, 50” wide, and 40” wide. And I went with the extra wide trailer. So I think I'm 90" wide and I’m 7’8” tall.”
She wasn’t just thinking about the horses when designing her trailer. She also wanted some extra headroom over the sleeping mattress in the gooseneck dressing room.
“I'm big inside compared to most trailers. Being new to horses, I wanted something that I felt safe, where I felt I had room to move in, and then the horses had room to move in.”
One of Becky’s favorite features about her 3 horse gooseneck trailer is the fact that she never needs to back her horses out again. The SafeTack design allows her horses to walk on and forward off the trailer without ever needing to back up.
“That’s another reason I went with the reverse. In theory, my horse would never have to back out. And that just seemed safer to me. I do have two horses who have loading issues where they would bail out the back at a thousand miles an hour. So I didn't want to have to take them out backwards. Everybody gets to go forward and I like that.”
Becky is very happy with how her large horses fit in the trailer. “My horses have plenty of room in the trailer. They can move around. They're not sandwiched in at all. The Friesian in the 40” stall fits like he does on a normal 3 horse trailer forward slant.”
Case Study 2: Two Warmbloods and a Mule
(Janet from Elbert, CO)
Janet from Elbert, Colorado loves to go trail riding with her friend on a regular basis. They alternate who drives each week and Janet wanted to be able to accommodate her friend’s large 17.0H warmbloods.
She was already a fan of slant load horse trailers and was intrigued by the benefits of reverse load trailers when she began researching to see who could build her dream trailer.
“That’s when I found Double D Trailers,” Janet shared. “One of the things I really liked about configuring my trailer with Double D Trailers was that I could start with a basic model and then go through the ‘a la carte’ options to see what I wanted.”
To her, the online buying process from Double D Trailers was much better than going down to the local dealer’s sales lot.
“It was really nice to be able to pick the options. I could go through and figure out, ‘Okay, that’s a little out of my budget,’ or to rethink what I wanted vs what I really needed.” With the help of Double D Trailers owner Brad Heath, Janet was able to narrow down the options to a design that fit her budget and her needs.
During the design process, Janet thought a lot about how her new trailer was going to work for her friend’s larger breed horses. “She’s got a little quarter horse, a mule, and two warmbloods that are 17H. I’ve got a medium-sized Quarter Horse.”
With Brad’s help, Janet settled on a trailer with three feet of overall length that allowed each individual stall to be around one foot wider in dimension. She is pleased with how her friend’s horses now fit into the trailer.
“It's big enough for her warmbloods. It's definitely more than big enough. They would fit in there without a problem if I ever needed to have a bigger horse in there.”
Janet has some practical advice for people with large breeds who question if their horses would do well in a slant load trailer from Double D Trailers. “I would ask what size stalls do they normally travel in…what are their horses comfortable in? Just compare the size of the stall in a trailer the horse rides in today versus the exact dimensions that they would be in for a Double D Trailer. If it's comparable, then there's nothing to be worried about!”
Case Study 3: 2 Big Warmbloods
(Amanda from from San Diego, CA)
Amanda from California has 2 warmblood horses, ranging from 16.1 to 17 hands. She was in the market for purchasing her last horse trailer. Amanda spent a lot of time researching online and was drawn to Double D Trailers.
"I liked being able to see how the trailers were built, the materials used, and how that affects the horse during the ride. I also got my trailer for a steal compared to other brands and what they could give me. I was looking for my last horse trailer and hopefully, this is it."
"I was looking at the 2+1 trailer and different manufacturers of horse trailers. I came across the video of why the SafeTack Reverse is better than a 2+1 trailer. From there, I watched other videos about trailer construction with Double D Trailers."
With some help from Brad during the consultation process, Amanda was able to decide on purchasing a SafeTack Reverse 3 Horse Gooseneck Trailer.
"Brad was an absolute joy to deal with. There was no pressure at all, and he took the time to explain everything thoroughly. I asked him many questions and he was extremely responsive. It was a simple and straightforward process, payment, scheduling, and delivery all went really well."
Before purchasing her SafeTack Reverse horse trailer, Amanda had previous experience with two other trailers from 2 different manufacturers. Amanda says that her Double D Trailer is above and beyond her expectations.
Amanda had some information to share with other warmblood horse owners about what they should know before considering a Double D Trailer. "The only thing I wish I had known was that the horses would have almost too much space in the trailer to move around. My big warmbloods look small in the trailer!"
Sounds like a good "problem" to have!
Case Study 4: Warmblood/TB and Irish Sport Horse/TB
(Amy from Sacramento, CA)
Our last case study is about Amy from Sacramento, California. Amy’s main concern when purchasing a new horse trailer was finding a design that didn’t feel claustrophobic. She was dealing with a traumatized horse and needed a trailer with a bright and open interior that would help him feel comfortable loading and traveling.
After two years of on-and-off trailer shopping, Amy finally had to get serious about her search when she had a sick horse who needed frequent trips to the vet.
"I kinda got pushed into it. I had a period where I had a sick horse and I needed to be able to get my horse to the vet yet I didn't own a trailer. I don't like feeling helpless…that’s not me. So I thought I needed a trailer!”
Amy plans to use her trailer to haul “big fellas” since she has several large breed and warmblood horses. In fact, on her very first trip, she hauled a friend’s large warmblood and thought, “He fits in there beautifully and had no issue whatsoever!”
The many safety options on Double D Trailers first attracted Amy during her shopping phase. She especially liked how the Rumber flooring option can reduce heat and vibration on horses’ legs. The less stressful reverse slant option also seemed like a good idea to her.
“I wanted to make sure I’m safe and my horses are safe. I got this horse trailer because one of my horses has PTSD from the last time he got into a trailer. He’s the reason I got this particular trailer because I thought it might actually help him.”
Her horse is an off-the-track Thoroughbred who is very emotional and high-strung. Amy thought that the bright white interior, large windows, and overhead ceiling vents created a very open and inviting interior space for her nervous horse. “Natural light is coming in from everywhere!”
The other horses that Amy plans to haul with her trailer are all quite large animals. First, there is a 17.1H thoroughbred / warmblood cross. Then, she has a 3-year-old Irish Sport / thoroughbred cross who is expected to mature to 17.0H. Finally, she has one more large horse…
“He’s a warmblood and a big bulky fellow and he fit in there beautifully!” Amy spoke kindly of the buying experience from Double D Trailers. She shared, “Brad was exceedingly helpful and was always available.”
“One time we spoke I think he was actually not at work. He was with his family on a trip or something like that. He always made himself available to me whenever I had any questions he was very quick to respond. If I had any questions he would immediately look into it and get back to me. So I just felt like I was his only customer at the moment, which I’m sure that wasn’t the case.”
