What is a semitrailer?

A saddle trolley is a trolley specially designed for transporting riding saddles and other riding accessories. It typically consists of a frame with wheels on which the saddles can be safely placed. A saddle trolley is an indispensable aid for riders and is specially designed to facilitate the transport of heavy and bulky riding saddles while ensuring their safety.

Saddle carts also come in different colours and are made of different materials - these are steel or metal (mostly aluminium). In addition, the saddle trolley has a special device to ensure optimal storage of the saddle so that it does not slide down.

What are the advantages of semitrailer trolleys?

A major advantage of a saddle trolley is that it greatly simplifies the tedious transport of riding saddles between different locations such as the stable, the riding arena and the horse trailer. Instead of carrying the saddle or balancing it on the horse's back, riders can simply place the saddle on the trolley and pull or push it effortlessly.

In addition, a saddle trolley also offers a practical storage solution for riding accessories such as bridles, saddle cloths and cleaning equipment. Many saddle trolleys have additional shelves or hooks to store these accessories safely and make them easily accessible.

Another important aspect is safety. A high-quality saddle trolley is sturdily built and equipped with secure fastening devices to secure the saddle during transport and prevent damage. 

In addition to its practical function, a trolley also offers the advantage of mobility and flexibility. Some models are foldable, making them particularly space-saving and easier to transport in vehicles. This flexibility makes the saddle trolley an indispensable companion for riders who frequently commute between different riding locations or want to transport their equipment safely and comfortably.

What should you consider when buying a semi-trailer?

When buying a saddle trolley, you should pay particular attention to the material and workmanship. A high-quality saddle trolley should be robust and stable in order to be able to carry heavy saddles safely. Typically, models made of metal or hard-wearing plastic are available. Make sure that the connections are solidly welded or bolted and that there are no sharp edges.

One practical feature you should look out for is castors on the trolley. These make transport much easier, especially if you have to move the trolley frequently between different locations.

Additional equipment features

Many saddle trolleys have additional functions such as hooks for snaffles, shelves for grooming equipment or holders for saddle blankets. Some models even offer lockable compartments to safely store valuable or small items. Please note, however, that such extras often increase the price, so you should carefully consider which features are really necessary for your needs.

Mobility and storage

The size and weight of the saddle trolley are also important factors. If you only want to store one saddle and a few items, a smaller model will suffice. For more extensive accessories and several saddles, however, you should opt for a larger trolley.

Care and maintenance

Once you have found the right tack trailer, the right care and maintenance is crucial for its longevity. Regular cleaning is particularly important as the trolley is often left in dusty stable environments. Metal trolleys require additional care to prevent rusting. Plastic trolleys, on the other hand, are usually easy to clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Check the screws and connections on metal trolleys regularly and tighten them if necessary to ensure a stable construction.

Which accessories are used on semitrailer wagons transported?

On the classic saddle trolley, you can usually only transport a single saddle without accessories. However, there are also models that have an integrated compartment in addition to the mono saddle holder, in which you can transport riding accessories such as grooming kit or other equipment. .
