A Guide to Horse Trailer Wheel Chocks

Without the proper safety equipment, transporting animals in these trailers can be potentially dangerous, particularly during loading and unloading. A horse trailer wheel chock is designed to secure an at-rest trailer in order to prevent unintentional movement or rolling. Horse trailer wheel chocks are easy to use and can help reduce the potential for accidents or injuries related to trailer movement.
