NEW – Sirius Trailers

about Horse Trailers!

Designed and manufactured in Osoyoos Canada (as well as the Netherlands), Sirius Horse Trailers offer safety, convenience, and design benefits. The Sirius development team consisting of professional riders and industry experts has come up with a new trailer concept, which is revolutionary in space, design, convenience and safety: the perfect transport solution for your horse.

You easily recognize a Sirius trailer by its tough and streamlined modern design. Spaciousness, safety, versatility, convenience and design are distinguishing features of these horse trailers.

The Sirius advantage. • Your Sirius trailer is manufactured in Osoyoos BC and comes standard with a 5 year warranty. • Sirius horse trailers are the perfect combination of design and functionality. A weighted back makes your trailer much stronger than other brands. • Starting at 1,874 lbs empty weight, these full aluminum trailers are ultra-light and can easily be towed by a smaller truck or larger SUV. So no need for a big expensive truck and costly installation of a trailer brake control system in your towing vehicle as Sirius trailers come with hydraulic surge brakes. • Special negative air pressure windows eliminate draft on your horse’s eyes and the exhaust fumes from your car cannot enter the trailer from the front. Sirius Trailers come standard with a so-called ventilation chassis. • The door/ramp combination, left front escape door, removable divider and retractable jack wheel are only some of the many features on the Sirius horse trailers. • Depending on the model, some options are a split divider, tack room, front exit ramp and additional windows.

The focus point of the design of a Sirius horse trailer is your horse’s experience during the transport/stay in a horse trailer. Being a flight animal, by nature a horse is moving its head and neck constantly. Can he still do that while he is in the average trailer, often for hours? No, he can’t! The head of an average 16.3 hands horse can reach a height of about 8 feet, with both front legs on the ground. From the shoulder, the horse needs a space of about 36 inches at the front.

A regular trailer, with an interior height of 6.5 feet provides insufficient headroom for most horses. It will therefore be forced to keep his head down and, because the roof is so close to his head (very sensitive for a horse), the horse will put his head down even more than he actually needs to. The net interior height/length used by the horse will therefore be 2-3" less. If, in addition to this, the horse does not have enough length in the trailer (39-43" measured from the shoulder), he will also be forced to bend his head to the inside, due to the sloping front of the trailer. Particularly during long trips, this position may lead to intense cramps, which may result in inferior performance and resistance during loading.

There is no such thing as a trailer that is too big for a horse; however, there are many that are too small!

The Sirius trailers have an interior height starting at 8 feet and an interior length of 134" X 136" X 193". With these dimensions, your horse will be able to comfortably stand in the trailer, even for a longer period.

At this time only 2-horse trailers are available for sale in Canada. When purchasing a trailer, ask yourself: who am I buying this trailer for… myself or my horse?
