Ball Mount
Clanking from your trailer hitch can
make hauling a loud experience.
Softride’s QuietRide Steel Tightening
Ball Mount eliminates the up-anddown,
side-to-side, and forward-andback
motion that causes clanking.
A threaded, stainless-steel hitch pin
tightens securely to a stainless-steel
nut in the ball mount’s inner wall; a
wedge and hitch pin secure the ball
mount into the corner of the receiver
tubing. Cost: $64.99.
Portable Corral
Portable corrals allow you to contain
your horse safely on the road. Travel
N Corrals offers lightweight, durable
corral panels. Each panel, made from
three-quarter-inch, galvanized-steel
tubing, measures four-by-seven feet
and weighs only 15 pounds. Six panels
make a 13-foot-diameter round corral
to contain a single horse; seven- and
eight-panel kits are also available.
Cost: From $525.
