I am purchasing a used LQ trailer and have the opportunity to add a few things that I wanted but were not on the trailer such as a stud wall and hay rack/ladder. I am wondering what everyone else feels is a needed accessory? I'm going through a dealer and they will order what I want (within reason) and include it the trailer and financing so I would like to add everything I'm going to need now. Pretty excited!!!

the stud wall in our 4 horse is used as extra space, so things do not roll into the the other stalls, if you are not going to be gone for extended periods of time you can do without the hay rack if you can put all the the extra things you need in the front stall or in your truck.

Lighting both inside and outside, individually switched for stalls, tack area, rear loading light, outside left, and outside right. Also tap in a power port for a stall camera.

An escape door on the first stall, a stud divider, walk through door from horse area to tack up front is a must for me. Also, I do have the hayrack and use it for water tanks for camping. Gravity fed water is nice for rinsing horse off after a ride and or watering the horse and or used for the cowboy shower in the back. Also, I have 4 interior lights just in the tack area. 2 brite lights in the horse compartment, and two rear loading lights as well as porch lights on the side at the tack door for porch lighting. Love the lights. I wish I had a 3 horse gooseneck though.(mine is only a 2 horse) For horse camping it would be nice as I do not have a garage and need to store my camping gear in the trailer at all times. It is all in the way as I have a small, 3' short wall in front. I would go with at least a 4 or 5' short-wall up front and have the tack door on the driver's side as this makes for a more useful tack area up front. I am now on my third trailer. Take it from me, get everything you want NOW. It is too expensive to add at a later time.

Oh, another thing...insulated walls and ceiling. I can keep my tack in my trailer all year long without it ever mildewing because my trailer is insulated all the way around. Have the ceiling insulated in the horse compartment too as this is really nice on a hot day. (Better re-sale value as well) I hate a rear tack and use my first stall to put the saddles in. ( you might haul a horse for someone that will not load or unload with a rear tack-this has happened to me on more than one occasion. That and I just got a new, young horse that will not load nicely yet unless the rear is fully opened and no rear tack) Eventually he will load nicely no matter what, but for now...I am thankful for not having a rear tack.I hated it in the front area too, where I sleep while camping. So, I like having the mid-tack option.

oops, just re-read your post... your new trailer is used and already is what it is. Sorry....I thought you were getting a new one on order.
