This is a lot of trailer—seriously. A 4-horse bumper pull is no joke. You need a heavy-duty truck, think 3/4-ton or 1-ton diesel/gas with a proper hitch setup, to handle this safely. C&C built these as honest, hardworking trailers without a ton of frills. You’re getting a classic steel frame with aluminum skin to keep rust at bay, and a straightforward 4-horse slant load design. There’s a basic tack area up front for your saddles and gear. It’s built for the person who needs to move horses reliably, not impress people at the showgrounds.
The Specs & The Reality:
Model: 2008 C&C 4-Horse Bumper Pull (Slant Load)
Construction: Steel frame / aluminum exterior walls
Hitch: Standard bumper pull (requires a heavy-duty ball mount and weight distribution hitch for stability)
Horse Area: Four slant stalls, rubber mats over a wooden floor, padded dividers, rear ramp.
Other: Basic front tack compartment, roof vents, standard lighting.
What You MUST Check Before Buying (The Real Talk):
The Floor: This is the #1 dealbreaker. It’s wood. Grab a hammer or a solid piece of metal and tap every single inch of that floor. You’re listening for a solid thud (good) or a soft, hollow thump (bad—means rot). Pay extra attention right where the horses pee and around the wheel wells.
Your Truck: Don’t guess. Look up your truck’s payload capacity (on the door jamb sticker) and its max towing. The weight of this trailer plus horses, gear, and people adds up fast. You’ll likely need a weight distribution hitch and sway control.
Tires & Brakes: Check the DATE CODE on every tire. If they’re from 2017 or older, plan to replace them immediately—they’re dangerous. Jack up each wheel and spin it. Listen for grinding brakes or worn bearings. All brakes must work.
Lights & Wiring: Plug it into your truck. Walk around. Do all running lights, brake lights, and turn signals work? Flickering means bad grounds or corroded wires—a headache to fix.
The Structure: Look for deep rust on the steel frame, especially around the axles and hitch coupler. Check the ramp hinges and latches—they should work smooth and solid.
Bottom Line:
If this trailer has a solid floor, good tires, and your truck can handle it, you’ve got a tough, dependable hauler perfect for local trips, ranch work, or 4-H shows. It’s a simple, repairable, American-made trailer. But if the floor is soft or the frame is rotten, walk away. The cost to fix it right will be more than the trailer’s worth.
