It’s a general rule there is never enough room in a horse trailer. That’s one big reason some people pull 8 ft wide trailers because they want the storage under the mangers. This does increase the storage, however, you will pay dearly if this is the reason you have an 8 ft wide trailer. Eight foot wide trailers cost more because there is more material, the trailer has to be structurally made stronger, and if you intend to pull very much you will want to do it with a dually.
 
  Some people choose to purchase a trailer with a mid-tack because they just can’t get all the saddles they need into that tiny little area in the rear tack. If you have a three horse trailer and 2 or 3 people are using the trailer and if those folks ride booth English and western, then how many saddle rack do you need? The answer is a lot! The solution has always been to add a mid-tack. 

  Shadow Trailers has a NEW solution-”The EXTRA LARGE REAR TACK”!  Just exactly what is this? Shadow adds 1 extra foot to the trailer. On a 8 foot wide trailer the rear door split is reversed and the tack side is the 60% side, in a 3 horse trailer there are 6 saddle racks (a four horse has 8 saddle racks), at least 20 head stall hooks, 2 brush boxes, 1 or 2 multiple blanket holders, and 2 poles which your saddle racks can fit into. Now you have the option- add a mid-tack and add 3-5 feet to your trailer or for at least ½ the cost maybe have the additional space you need with an “Extra Large Rear Tack”. This option is available in both the 7 ft wide and 8 ft wide trailers.

  When you get to your horse show you now have another choice. You can either open the collapsible tack wall up and work the show out of you trailer. OR you remove the saddle racks from the trailer, take them into the tack stall and mount your saddle racks on the poles which come with this package. Now you don’t have take portable saddle racks!

If you Contest, Rodeo, or Trail Ride you don’t need all those saddle racks. Leave them home! Only use the racks at the top for your saddles, all that space underneath is now accessible USEABLE storage space. Actually there is more usable-accessible space in a 7 ft wide trailer than you will have under the mangers in an 8 ft wide trailer. Imagine space for hay, grain, buckets, hoses, and or generators!
