Top 9 Horse Transport & Travel Equipment Picks in Canada for 2025 — Expert-Reviewed Trailers, Mats, Tie-Downs & Safety Gear for Safer, More Comfortable Hauling

The Merhow Bronco earns attention for its solid build quality and attention to horse comfort, with features like durable flooring systems and insulated roof structures that benefit competitors traveling across varied climates. Relative to its peers it often delivers a premium feel in the horse area and tack storage at a competitive price point, positioning it as a good option for buyers who want near-luxury horse accommodations without the top-tier asking price.

Duradek Ultra Trailer Floor Coating is the market-leading waterproof membrane solution for trailers that need a fully bonded, low-maintenance surface; its seamless vinyl-like coating protects deck substrates from moisture and corrosion in ways that loose rubber mats cannot. Although initial installation and professional application cost more than mats, Duradek often adds the most resale and long-term protection value by eliminating bedding and trapped moisture issues common with mat systems.

The Blocker Tie Ring II is positioned as the best-in-class heavy-duty anchor for tie-down systems, prized for its reinforced construction and long-term corrosion resistance which make it ideal for demanding or outdoor equine and utility use. It commands a premium price compared with the other products on this list, but that higher upfront cost is offset by reduced replacement frequency and superior load-bearing performance when paired with cross-ties or trailer anchors. Against lighter or budget options here, the Tie Ring II is the technical choice when durability and longevity are the priority in a tie-down system.

Charmac's Quick Release Divider System is a market leader for operations that require fast, tool-free reconfiguration; its release mechanisms cut labor time and enable rapid stall changes between hauls, a clear operational cost saver for commercial or high-turnover users. Although typically priced higher than basic removable partitions, its time-savings and ease-of-use often offset the premium compared with heavier padded or fixed systems, and it pairs well with padded options when both speed and comfort are needed.

Northern Horse Equipment's Heavy-Duty Trailer Steps are engineered for maximum load capacity and rugged durability, using reinforced steel construction and a thick powder-coat finish to withstand daily use with large breeds and heavy traffic. Technically, they offer the best raw strength among these options and are priced competitively for long-term value, though their weight can increase trailer tongue load and fuel use compared with lighter aluminum units like SafeTack. For operations that prioritize strength and a conservative price-per-year of service, Northern’s heavy-duty steps are the practical market leader for demanding applications.

The Jolly Stall Snack Panel is an economical enrichment and feeding-focused end panel that easily mounts to portable travel stalls to reduce boredom and encourage calm loading and transit behavior. It is the most budget-friendly option for owners who need a functional, low-cost solution for on-the-road entertainment and forage management and complements sturdier structural panels like Classic Equine or Ramm rather than replacing them.

Woof Wear's Smart Event Boots are designed for dynamic protection during travel and competition, offering an ergonomic shell and shock-absorbing impact zones that suit cross-country or trail transport. They sit in a mid-price range and offer more structured external protection than simple neoprene boots, giving riders a technical, versatile option for travel that needs robust strike-zone defense without the extra bulk of medical wraps. Compared to the thermal-focused Back on Track wraps and the ultra-light Eskadron boots, these deliver a strong balance of impact protection and day-to-day practicality for eventing travel.
