Hawk 2 Horse Bumper-Pull Horse Trailer. If you know horse trailers, you know that there are not any better than Hawk---durability, strength, smart design, the best components, attention to quality in the manufacturing process. It is based on Hawk's Classic Model which means it is warmblood horse sized---meaning as expansive as you can get from a horse's perspective ---- 7'6" inches tall with a chest bar to back ramp distance of 90 inches and an individual horse width of 45 inches. The Classic is their top of the line model from the perspective of padding, mats on the wall, lights, and other items designated below. Trailer has a designed GVRW of 7000 pounds (two 3500 pound axles)----the design weight for the trailer and what you load into it----and what your vehicle should be able to tow. The actual trailer weight unloaded is 4111 pounds. This trailer was custom designed by Hawk based on our desires two years ago. If only one person is loading or unloading it can be difficult to load and especially off-load from a walk-in/back-out trailer----one person to tend to the horse's head and halter but still have to deal with the ramp and butt-bar?---better have a horse which is an easy and experienced loader and off-loader AND/OR a second person. Having a side ramp on the curb/passenger side of the trailer is great----loading is the same but to get the horse out of the trailer all you need do is put the side ramp down, stand with the horse's lead, pull the chest bar free and walk FORWARD out of the trailer. Obviously horses, especially young horses, would much prefer walking forward than back out blindly down a ramp. The side ramp is 53 1/2 inches wide which is plenty wide for any horse no matter how young or unruly. It works out wonderfully. In our custom specifications there is a side door on the street/driver side opposite the ramp for access to the horse's head area so you dont have to get access through the ramp unlike Hawk's standard side ramp version. That is nice so you can get easy access to the horses to provide water, hay etc. without pulling the ramp down. In addition the front wall between the horse area and the dressing room is a straight wall rather than a slant wall---as in Hawk's standard walk-through/back out w/dressing room model. Why is this one better? You get the street side access door, and you get a ton of room squared off in front of the two horse slots. We prefer to put hay, feed, and muck related stuff back in the horse area and keep the dressing room for things you prefer staying clean, like saddles, trunks, clothing bags etc. So in the space resulting in back, you could load and carry a pony or small horse (why we call this a "2+" horse trailer) or a scooter and/or atv plus hay, feed, etc. Our design cost twelve inches in length front to back in the dressing room----so we added an additional six inches to the overall length of the trailer to make the net loss in dressing room size from Hawk's regular dressing room only 6 inches. The exact dimensions as built for this trailer is in one of the gallery shots. The door to the dressing room is on one of the slanted front walls of the trailer. There is room in the trailer for two standard show trunks side by side, plus a decent sized plastic tub. If you have more than this, you can stack on top of the first layer of trunks and tubs. We deleted the saddle racks from the trailer as we always carry saddles in bags and in our experience the saddle racks waste a lot of space. For hanging clothes, we put in an extra long clothes rack. We also put in an extended set of hooks running basically the width of the trailer in the dressing room beneath the window back into the horse area----plenty of space to hang tack, hoses, electric cords or whatever. The spare tire is carried in the tack room. Other special touches----Hawk added the pop-up camper top in the dressing room for ventilation. We also had Hawk change out the standard front hand-operated jack for an electric one-----powered by an RV/Marine deep cycle battery stored in the dressing room-----as you would find on a top-of-the line travel trailer----makes the job of hooking up or unhooking from the tow vehicle a whole lot easier. Hawk also added exterior loading lights on the back for the back ramp and on the side for the side ramp. And finally, we had Hawk do the entire exterior of the trailer in stainless steel----it looks awesome. And has the added safety factor of being pretty likely to wake-up any semi-dozing driver who may drive up from behind you at night---the reflection of his own headlights from the back of the trailer should have quite an effect. We have towed this trailer with a standard half-ton pick-up and it pulls great---very stable even at highway speeds with significant crosswinds. And importantly all the horses have done great while on long hauls. The Rumber floor has proved especially easy on the horses, and great for cleaning between trips. If you are shopping for a horse trailer research Hawk trailers---we did at length and concluded there wasnt a better built or designed trailer in the US, and we think we made this one even better.
