In our annual truck and trailer guide, we brought you many new and exciting products both from the automotive and horse trailering worlds. However, we wanted to do more, we wanted to showcase more of the horse trailer manufacturers and their products to help you make an informed decision when buying a horse trailer. So consider this our supplemental trailer profile to our annual truck and horse trailer guide.
Also, in the original guide, Featherlite Trailer's Website was incorrect. The correct Web address is www.fthr.com. Spin to Win regrets the error.

Cherokee
In the world of equestrian trailers, the folks at Cherokee feel their name means state-of-the-art. They claim the reasons are inherently evident in an across-the-board commitment to product quality-a commitment that infuses every aspect of the Cherokee approach.
They start with material and design. As for industry standards, Cherokee doesn't believe in them; they perform to our own self-defined, rigorous standards.
Features include aircraft strength aluminum alloy throughout, extruded aluminum floor planks with I-beams on five inch centers, four-sided structural upright post, a top rail with a 2½" radius and 5 extra strength ribs to give maximum roll over protection (patent pending) and living quarters that lack for nothing in conveniences.
However, the finest materials in the hands of the unskilled would indeed be an empty exercise. Cherokee Trailer people, from engineer to artisan, are experienced and expert in their respective roles. Their degreed engineers are continuously investigating, researching and testing in the unrelenting search for improvement. In this regard, all Cherokee employees, regardless of position, are viewed as contributors and the possible source of a better way of doing things. This kind of free flow of ideas makes for an atmosphere whose driving force and sole underlying principle is not to rest on their past achievements.
