ABSTRACT:
The trailer comprises a transport base with road wheels and a floor on which is mounted an elongate shell having side walls and a roof, the planform of the shell corresponding to the planform of the base. Separate, removable fasteners connect the shell to the base. Jacks are connected to the aft end of the shell to raise it out of contact with the base when the fasteners have been removed. Extensible rollers at the forward end of the shell are lowered to contact the floor of the base. The base can then be moved forward to remove it from under the shell so that it can be used as an open flat bed trailer. Other jacks are connected to a forward portion of the shell, to support the shell when not in use. An assemblage of partitioning components is provided to provide compartments for transporting a pair of horses and is removable to provide an open cargo space when needed.
