Horse trailers are becoming more expensive than ever before, and it’s easy to understand why. The cost of materials such as aluminum, steel, and other metals have sky-rocketed in recent years due to increased demand from industries such as automotive manufacturing and construction. Additionally, the cost of labor has also risen significantly with many horse trailer manufacturers now paying their employees a living wage for their hard work. This all adds up to higher costs for the consumer when buying a new or used horse trailer. In addition to these rising production costs, there is also an increase in demand for horse trailers which drives prices even higher. With more people wanting to own horses or take part in equestrian activities like trail riding or show jumping, the need for quality trailers increases too. So not only are you paying more money upfront but you’re likely going to pay even more over time through maintenance and repair costs associated with owning a trailer.
