 "But my horses are different sizes.
How do I choose?"

Two things to consider:
 Head Space and Stall Space

Head Space

• the length of space ahead of the chest bar to the wall/partition in front of the horse
• the internal height of the trailer

Horse conformation varies based on breeding. Horses can have long or short necks, with high or low carriage.

For horse safety, CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) stipulates that a horse must have 18” of clearance above the withers AND the tops of the ears cannot touch the roof when standing at rest.



Böckmann has you covered with internal stall heights of 7’6”–7’8” and space ahead of the trailer ranging from 43” to 81”, depending on the model.

Stall Space

• the length between the chest and rear bar
• the width of the stall

We think horses want more space in a trailer. But they are more relaxed in less space, once they understand it is supportive. Try standing in a bus, subway or airplane aisle as it moves. Tricky, right? But if there is a seat back, a pole, a wall, or a handle to steady us, we are more comfortable. Horses are the same. They will position or brace themselves to balance against the trailer's movement in a larger space.

North American straight load trailers often have a width of up to 36”. Böckmann’s narrower stall widths mean less chance of a horse scrambling for their balance.

31” in the compact trailer range.

Most horses fit easily in Champion or Comfort models.

Great for horses to 17hh – blankets to 78-81”

Champion 7’6” 

Comfort 7’7”

33” in the Big and Long models.

Horses 16.3hh and up have more room in the 33” wider stalls of the larger models.

Great for horses to 18hh – blankets to 81”–86”

Big Champion 7’8”

Portax  7’8”

Portax L (Longer)  7’8”

Adaptations for taller and smaller equine partners are possible!

Create the best “seat” for your horses by choosing the correct chest bar height. Shorten or lengthen the stall by lowering/raising the rear steel stall bar. These bars act as seat belts for your equine partner. Feeling secure in the stall makes for a comfortable ride!
