Measuring 6’8″ wide, 18′ long and 7’6″ tall, this Hawk 3 Horse Bumper Pull gives you room for three horses in a manageable package that many half-ton and three-quarter-ton trucks can handle, depending on their ratings.

If you want a dependable three-horse trailer for trail rides, lessons, shows or ranch work without the size and cost of a gooseneck, this one is worth a close look. Below is a complete breakdown of the construction, dressing room, horse area, specifications and benefits, plus answers to common buyer questions.

Hawk 3 Horse Bumper Pull Overview

Hawk Trailers, based in Manawa, Wisconsin, builds horse trailers and can modify standard models with the features owners need. This 2013 Hawk 3 Horse Bumper Pull is finished in Pewter Gray and combines a galvanized steel frame with a painted aluminum exterior skin and a seamless fiberglass roof.

The trailer measures 6’8″ wide by 18′ long with a 7’6″ interior height, which gives horses comfortable headroom. With an empty weight of about 4,200 lbs. and a GVW of 9,900 lbs., the Hawk 3 Horse Bumper Pull is light enough to tow with many common pickups while still offering room for three horses and a dressing room.

Up front, a carpeted V-nose dressing room offers bridle hooks, a 110 outlet, a brush tray and a water tank. In the horse area, lined walls, padded dividers, pop-up vents in each stall, drop-down feed doors, sliding bus windows and 5/8″ floor mats keep horses safe and comfortable. A collapsible rear tack with a 3-tier saddle rack adds even more storage.

What makes this trailer appealing is the balance it strikes. It is large enough to carry three horses and a full day’s worth of tack, water and grooming supplies, yet compact enough to store in a typical barn aisle or driveway and to maneuver into tight trailhead parking. The Pewter Gray finish, front wedge nose and diamond plate trim give it a clean, classic look, and the combination of steel strength and aluminum skin keeps it practical for everyday use. For riders who want a no-fuss, ready-to-haul trailer, the Hawk 3 Horse Bumper Pull checks a lot of boxes without asking for a large truck or a big budget.

Who This Trailer Is Built For

• Trail riders who haul two or three horses to trailheads and horse parks
• Families with several horses who want a simple, easy-to-tow trailer
• Riders who prefer a bumper pull over a gooseneck
• Lesson barns and small boarding operations
• Buyers looking for a three-horse trailer at an approachable price point

Construction of the Hawk 3 Horse Bumper Pull

The Hawk 3 Horse Bumper Pull uses a combination of materials chosen for strength, durability and insulation.

Galvanized Steel Frame

The frame is galvanized steel, with galvanneal tubing on the side frame. Galvanized and galvanneal steel are coated to help resist rust and corrosion, giving the trailer a strong, durable backbone.

Walls and Insulation

The interior walls are galvanneal sheet steel and the exterior is painted aluminum skin. Between the walls, 1″ insulation runs from floor to roof. That insulation helps moderate temperatures inside the horse area and reduces road noise for a calmer ride.

Seamless Fiberglass Roof

A seamless fiberglass roof, reinforced with galvanneal tubing, helps reduce leaks and keeps the interior cooler than many metal roofs. Without seams, there are fewer places for water to get in over time.

Front Wedge Design

The front wedge nose includes windows and an 18″ aluminum diamond plate pebble guard across the lower front to protect the trailer from rocks and road debris. A diamond plate step leads up to the dressing room door.

Dressing Room

The carpeted V-nose dressing room in the Hawk 3 Horse Bumper Pull gives you a clean place to store tack and change clothes.

• Carpeted floor and bulkhead wall
• 6 bridle hooks
• 110 outlet
• Brush tray on the door
• Water tank in the corner

The 110 outlet is handy when you have shore power for clippers or a fan, and the built-in water tank means you always have water on hand for your horses, even at trailheads without a spigot.

Collapsible Rear Tack

A collapsible rear tack adds extra storage at the back of the trailer. It includes a 3-tier saddle rack, a dome light and 6 more bridle hooks. When you need more room for loading, it folds out of the way.

Between the dressing room and the rear tack, the Hawk 3 Horse Bumper Pull offers plenty of storage for saddles, bridles, pads and grooming supplies.

Horse Area Features

The horse area is where the Hawk 3 Horse Bumper Pull really shows its quality. Every feature is designed to keep horses comfortable and safe on the road.

Lined Walls and Padded Dividers

Lined walls provide a smooth, protective surface inside the trailer, and padded dividers help cushion horses during stops and turns.

Ventilation and Windows

• Pop-up vents in each stall
• Drop-down 24″ x 31″ feed doors with bars on the head side
• Sliding bus windows with bars on the tail side

Good airflow is essential for horse health, especially on hot days. Drop-down feed doors let horses get fresh air and let you check on them easily, while bars keep heads safely inside the trailer.

Escape Door

An escape door at the first horse gives you a safe exit after tying, so you are never trapped in a stall.

Lighting and Flooring

Dome lights in the horse area make loading and unloading safer after dark, and 5/8″ floor mats give horses solid, cushioned footing.

Rear Doors and Exterior Features

• 60/40 rear door with cam latch for secure closure
• LED marker lights for better visibility on the road
• Rubber bumper to protect the rear of the trailer
• 3 external ties for tying horses outside the trailer
• Diamond plate pebble guard on the lower front

The 60/40 rear door makes loading easier, and the cam latch keeps the door securely shut on the road.

Bumper Pull vs. Gooseneck

Choosing between a bumper pull and a gooseneck is one of the first decisions horse trailer buyers make. Here is how the Hawk 3 Horse Bumper Pull compares:

• Truck requirements: A bumper pull uses a standard receiver hitch, so you do not need a gooseneck ball installed in your truck bed.
• Truck bed: Your truck bed stays free for hay, feed and gear.
• Cost: Bumper pull trailers are often more affordable than comparable goosenecks.
• Size: A bumper pull is typically shorter overall, making it easier to park and store.
• Stability: Goosenecks can feel more stable with heavy loads, so a properly set up hitch and a well-matched truck are important for any bumper pull.

For riders who haul up to three horses and want flexibility in their truck choice, the Hawk 3 Horse Bumper Pull is a practical option.

Steel Frame with Aluminum Skin: What It Means for You

Horse trailers are usually built in all-aluminum, all-steel or combination designs. The Hawk 3 Horse Bumper Pull uses a combination approach:

• Strength: A galvanized steel frame and galvanneal tubing provide a stiff, strong structure.
• Corrosion resistance: Galvanized and galvanneal coatings help protect the steel from rust, and the painted aluminum exterior skin will not rust.
• Insulation: Double walls with 1″ insulation between them help keep the interior more comfortable and quieter than a single-wall trailer.
• Value: Combination trailers are often more affordable than all-aluminum models, giving you a lot of trailer for the money.

As with any trailer that uses steel, regular washing and a quick look for chips or scratches help keep the Hawk 3 Horse Bumper Pull in great condition for years to come. Touching up any exposed spots promptly is an easy way to protect the frame.

Hauling Two Horses with Extra Room

Many owners of a three-horse trailer regularly haul just two horses. With the Hawk 3 Horse Bumper Pull, that extra stall can give your horses more room to spread out on long trips, or serve as a spot for hay bales, buckets and gear. When a friend wants to ride along, you have space for a third horse without needing a bigger trailer. That flexibility is one of the reasons the Hawk 3 Horse Bumper Pull is such a practical choice for trail riders and families.

A Day on the Trail with the Hawk 3 Horse Bumper Pull

Picture loading up early on a Saturday for a trail ride with friends. Saddles are already on the 3-tier rack in the rear tack, bridles hang in the dressing room and the water tank is full. You load three horses, close the 60/40 rear door with its cam latch and head out.

At the trailhead, you tie horses to the three external ties, grab your gear from the dressing room and tack up. After the ride, horses get a drink from the onboard water tank, then load back into a trailer that stays comfortable thanks to the insulated walls, fiberglass roof and pop-up vents. That is the kind of easy, enjoyable day the Hawk 3 Horse Bumper Pull is made for.
