Here’s the Shadow Stable Mate 6145 two horse straight load with dressing room.  This is an appealing model for several reasons.  It’s an aluminum trailer (aluminum frame & skin), so for those of you looking for rust-resistance and light weight, the 6145 has you covered.  Interior height is 7’6” and the horse area is about 10 feet long, so the 6145 can accommodate large horses.   Shadow has used clever engineering in the 6145 and other Stable Mate models to keep both the weight and price down while keeping the quality high.   The 6145 has an empty weight of approximately 2650 lbs., so you don’t need a large vehicle to tow it safely.

The Stable Mate 6145 is good looking and well equipped.   As shown here, we’ve equipped it with only two options – trim stripes and a spare tire.  The white surfaces make for a clean, attractive exterior and a bright, inviting interior.  For light and ventilation, there are large sliding windows on both sides as well as drop down feed windows at both stalls.  (And the drop downs have sliders with screens as well!)  There’s a convenient pass door from the horse area to the large and well-equipped dressing room.  Saddle racks, bridle hooks and a locking door with window are all standard in the 6145 dressing room.  In the horse area, padded chest & butt bars are standard.  The stall divider & post are removable in case you’d like to haul a load of hay or an ATV, etc.

What about that clever engineering we mentioned earlier?  First of all, the body width of the Stable Mate series is 6 feet.  Shadow figured that’s plenty to accommodate just about anything short of a draft horse, so why make the trailer any wider than necessary?  The 6’ body width saves weight and cost and reduces the frontal area of the trailer for easier towing.  Another clever aspect of Shadow’s Stable Mate series is the Rumber® kick panels.  Rumber panels (not to be confused with Rumber floor planks) are extremely tough, yet lighter than traditional wall mats.  Look around the 6145’s structure and you’ll see strong but light aluminum tubing and substantial gussets reinforcing high stress areas.

At the rear, the Stable Mate 6145 straight load has an easy-lift spring-assisted rear ramp, storm curtain doors and a loading light.  And please note that Shadow’s ramp mat is one of the grippiest we’ve ever walked on.  The 6145 also has smooth-riding torsion axles, bright LED tail & marker lights, running boards (don’t take running boards for granted!) and much more as standard.
