I've noticed that even the top name trailers are not using disc brakes on trailers... is it the cost or is there a reason disc brakes are not well suited for horse/stock trailers?

I think it has more to do with cost. If you order with Hydraulic brakes. They are Electric over Hydraulic Disc Brakes. If I'm not wrong some if not most electric brake actuators on trucks have problems with the hydraulic units.
