This is the
7155S-2STRW-GN. That stands for 7' wide (6'9" actually), 15.5'
body length, 2 horse straight load, warmblood, gooseneck. We
just call it the 7155 gooseneck. Standard height is 7'6", the
horse area is approximately 11' long and the dressing room is
nearly 4.5'. There's plenty of room for good-sized horses and
tack. The 7155 GN features a robust aluminum tube frame (not
3-sided hat post), aluminum skin, extruded aluminum plank floors
with integrated cross members every 6", rubber torsion axles
with big brakes & 16" tires. The entire ceiling is lined &
insulated and the walls of the horse area are lined & insulated
as well - all standard. Removable head divider, vents over the
stalls and plenty of windows are standard. The escape doors are
some of the widest we've ever seen and they even have huge drop
down windows for additional ventilation. We've included a
picture of the trailer with both escape doors open so you can
see how much maneuvering room and air flow are available when
the 7155's doors are open. Another practical feature that's
standard on this and all Shadows is wide running boards. If
you've ever had a trailer with narrow running boards (or none at
all), you can appreciate the convenience and better footing
offered by properly sized running boards.
As you can see in the accompanying photos, the 7155 horse area
is nicely matted and has inviting white walls and ceiling. The
Shadow ramp design has a very effective spring assist and the
woven mat ramp covering is very grippy. (Standard ramp
height is 4 feet, but Shadow will make the ramp 4.5 feet tall at
no extra cost. The pictured trailer has the 4.5'
ramp.) Bright, reliable LED tail and marker lights are
standard, as is a loading light. Shadows are so well equipped
that we added very few options to the trailer pictured here.
This one has an optional spare tire, trim stripes and windows in
the storm curtain doors above the ramp. There's plenty of
ventilation in standard configuration, but we ordered the 19" x
53" window in the dressing room rear wall for even more air flow
to the horses. The pictured trailer also has the optional 30
gallon water tank tucked up under the gooseneck (but the faucet
is down low for convenient filling of buckets). The water tank
has been such a popular feature that we order it on many of our
goosenecks.
We receive a lot of positive feedback on the fit, finish and
overall appearance of our Shadow trailers. Like many of the
manufacturers we select, Shadow puts their money into the
product rather than spending a fortune on marketing, so you get
a very well made, well-equipped trailer at a very reasonable
price. We invite you to stop by Traveled Lane and see some
Shadows for yourself.
