Featherlite 9409 6-Horse Slant Load
Featherlite's 9409 6-Horse model earns a top position for operators who prioritize payload and low tow weight; its predominantly aluminum construction reduces corrosion and improves fuel efficiency compared with heavier steel designs on this list. While the 9409 is a slant-load layout rather than a traditional center-aisle, its six-horse capacity and lower operating costs make it an attractive financial choice for large-haul operations that still need to transport three or more horses reliably.
