When this item arrived, it took about 5 minutes to assemble. The wheels and arm click into place with a snap. The fabric is heavy nylon, like backpack material. There is a mesh door at the back and at the front with zippers. When you want the door open, there is velcro to hold it in place. There are also 2 little pouches on either side that are big enough to hold a leash and a bottle of water. The plate to hold it to your bike is easy to put in place and there is a release latch so the trailer doesn’t have to be attached all the time. There is also a heavy spring at the junction between the bar and your bike. The spring acts like a shock absorber and also allows the trailer to move more naturally.

I have a handicapped pet. He loved going for a ride down to the park. I can’t imagine wheeling him around in a stroller, but I’ll certainly take him for a ride around the neighborhood for a little fun and exercise.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2TMROQNO7ZM4X Our dog loves this trailer. She got in right away, and loves to go for bike rides. The little leash inside that hooks onto the collar keeps her safe inside, and prevents her from jumping out after squirrels.

This trailer is well-made and easy to get on and off the bike.

I absolutely love this product. Now I can ride my bike without leaving my Shih Tzu at home. He jumped right in before I had the chance to tempt him with a treat. I think it’s best to start any dog out with a few short runs to get them used to the movement and confinement etc. The first time he protested because he wanted to get out and run with us instead of riding, but he soon got the idea. I have found it helpful to walk him first so he gets his activity out of the way before I put him in. Now I ride around the neighborhood at night when it is cooler and he is fine with it. It seems to be well made and sturdy but still easy to mount on the bike. I recently purchased another bike attachment so when my husband is with me, he can pull him though it isn’t difficult at all and I am in my fifties and had leg surgery less than a year ago.

I would definitely recommend to a friend.

I got mine and love it! It pops together and folds up to be small to bring it with you. The wheels pop off for bringing it with you on vacation or whatever. It took me about 10 Minutes and Tucker and I were off on a bike ride. He loved it.

Sooner or later, everyone who owns a horse will have to deal with a horse trailer in order to haul to shows, races, hunts, and perhaps even to veterinary clinics. Up to now, when horse owners wanted information on trailers they had to rely on magazine articles or word-of-mouth recommendations. Not anymore.

In the world of horses everyone has an opinion. After deciding to buy a trailer I wanted to do a little research. This book is full of incredible detail about all the possible mishaps your horse could get into and the various design flaws that most trailers have to contribute to those mishaps. It gives detailed explanations of each part of the trailer and is full of opinions about the best design of trailers. The authors do not cite any specific manufacturers but after reading this book I had completely changed my mind about what I wanted. The problem is so much of the information was so scary that I designed my perfect trailer around it, only to learn it would cost me almost ,000.00 (for a 2-horse). The book is incredibly detailed, well written in layman’s terms and has good illustrations and photographs. I learned a lot more about a horse trailer than I ever thought I needed to. It gives you a lot to think about. Mostly I thought about never trailering my horse in someone elses’s trailer again.

As a novice in the horse world I had no idea where to start looking for a safe and reasonably priced horse trailer. This book was a wealth of information covering all the main topics (slant load or straight load, gooseneck or tag-a-long; steel or aluminum construction)and offered lot’s of details I would not have considered (hay bags, nets or mangers; ramp or step up’s; windows open or closed). I completely changed my mind about what to look for in a trailer and believe I have now have the information necessary to buy the safest trailer available and the most appropriate tow vehicle for my choice of trailer. The authors are very knowledgeable and have written from experience. The only problem I had with the book is that it is almost too much information but it will continue to be a resource for any questions that arise in the future. I highly recommend this book.

Imagine trying to buy a car with no consumer reviews (or even trade reviews), and in a world where only a handful of people you know even own cars. You can ask their opinion, but their vehicle is several years old and a totally different type from the one you need. And for every time you hear someone say, “Acme Brand Trailers are the greatest,” you’ll also hear, “I wouldn’t have an Acme Brand Trailer ever again.” This is what it’s like to shop for a horse trailer. Actually, it’s even worse: most horse trailers are practically custom made, so there’s a huge variety of options to select. Dealers often only have one brand and are typically far apart – perhaps a hundred miles in every direction. And they may only have a few samples available at any one time. Though no brands are mentioned, the book does a good job of taking one through the many possible features in a trailer, discussing what is available and what is especially convenient, horse-friendly, or inconvenient. Even little details, like door latches, or avoiding high sills on dressing room doors, so that the dressing room can be swept out easily, are covered – precisely the sort of thing that is easy to miss when looking at bright shiny new trailers. I did not agree with all of her recommendations and preferences, but they are generally well presented and reasoned. I would like to see a little more discussion about expected hauling conditions, and how your needs for a trailer and tow vehicle change based on whether you do mostly short local hauling or long-distance hauling, and in warm or cold weather. However, this is an excellent book on an obscure topic, and well worth the money for anyone looking to know more about selecting or maintaining a horse trailer.

Very thorough and easy to read. We are new to horses and had shopped a little for a trailer before reading this book, but found the whole process very overwhelming. We didn’t really have any idea what we should be looking for and talking to all the different salesmen at the equine show proved to be just too much. This book covers everything from A-Z and points out the pros and cons of different types of construction materials, styles, options, etc. Much emphasis is placed on the safety and comfort of the horse. I feel that I am much better equipped to acquire the “right” trailer now that I know the “right questions”.
