Question
how many horses can traler take? do horses ride in a trialerfacing the side, the front or does it depend on the trailer? thanx

Answer
It all depends on the size of the trailer and what type it is.  You can anything from a 1 horse up to multiple horse trailers, straight-load, slant-load and even front to back load (for larger trailers, usualy 4-6 horses).

If trailering in a stock trailer, horses often ride rear-facing if left loose in the trailer. In straight-load horses are usually facing front, and slant load the horses are facing the driver's side, but at an angle.
