Livestock trailer - See also: Horse trailer
There are a number of different styles of trailers used to haul livestock such as cattle and horses. The most common is the stock trailer, a trailer that is enclosed on the bottom, but has openings at approximately the eye level of the animals to allow ventilation. The horse trailer is a more elaborate form of stock trailer. Because horses are usually hauled for the purpose of competition or work, where they must be in peak physical condition, horse trailers are designed for the comfort and safety of the animals. They usually have adjustable vents and windows as well as suspension designed to provide a smooth ride and less stress on the animals. Both stock trailers and horse trailers range in size from small units capable of holding two or three animals, able to be pulled by a pickup truck or even a SUV; to large semi-trailers that can haul a significant number of animals.

Hitching a trailer -
 Trailer-hitch on a large vehicle A trailer coupler is used to secure the trailer to the towing vechicle. The trailer coupler attaches to the trailer ball. This forms a ball and socket connection to allow for relative movement between the towing vehicle and trailer while towing over uneven road surfaces. The trailer ball is mounted to the draw bar, which is usually removable. The draw bar is secured to the trailer hitch by inserting it into the hitch receiver and pinning it. The three most common types of couplers are Straight Couplers, A-Frame Couplers, and Adjustable Couplers. The various pieces of a tow hitch (also known as a tow bar) are as follows (as seen on cars and non-industrial trucks). ...
