Equi-Trek Space-Treka III

Space-Treka III is Equi-Trek’s answer to a common problem: owners who need to carry more than two horses regularly, but do not want the size, weight and towing demands of a full horse truck. It carries up to three horses, or four ponies, while staying compact enough to tow and manoeuvre like a large double rather than a small truck.

A separate tack and changing area is built in, which matters more once you are travelling three horses to a show – somewhere to store tack, rugs and a change of clothes without it competing for space with the horses or getting left in the tow vehicle. Construction follows Equi-Trek’s usual wood-free formula: composite panelling on a galvanised chassis, built to resist the rot and corrosion that eventually affects timber-framed equivalents.

Carrying three horses (or four ponies) is a genuinely different towing proposition from a standard double, and this is where South African buyers need to be most careful: check the combination’s total weight against your tow vehicle’s braked capacity and your driver’s licence code, since three horses plus tack routinely pushes combination weights into territory that requires a Code EB licence rather than a standard Code B. Do this calculation before you commit, not after.

If you are currently considering a small horse truck instead of Space-Treka III, it is worth talking to us about the trade-offs – a well-specced trailer like this can cover the same three-horse capacity at a lower purchase price and simpler running costs, provided your tow vehicle is genuinely up to it.

Whether you settle on three horses or four ponies as your typical load, do not overlook the ordinary administrative side of ownership: a valid South African trailer licence disc is required before Space-Treka III goes on public roads, and it is worth sorting alongside the licence-code question already raised for a trailer carrying this many animals.
