Horse Trailer Repair in Reddick

Reddick is a small town in northern Marion County, about 15 miles north of Ocala: 449 people at the 2020 census, platted in 1882 and incorporated in 1925. The town is small; the horse country around it is not. We repair horse and farm trailers around Reddick at Ocala prices: bearing repack $150 to $250 per axle, brake adjustment $80 to $150, wood floor about $9 to $13 per square foot, breakaway switch or kit $100 to $250 installed. Most of it at your barn.

Why Reddick is different

Reddick is horse country. One example is the Ocala Jockey Club, a 922-acre training property on County Road 318 in Reddick, near I-75 exit 368, with a 5/8 mile training track. It was bought in 2021 by the group behind the World Equestrian Center, and for years it hosted the Ocala Jockey Club International 3-Day Event in November. Reddick also has a boat ramp: the county visitor bureau lists Heagy Burry Boat Ramp, with a Reddick address, as the only public ramp on Orange Lake that works through most low-water conditions.

That means trailers that haul often and haul horses that matter: to the track, the vet, the sales, the shows at HITS Post Time Farm and the World Equestrian Center, and to eventing. Marion County as a whole counts 75,000 horses and ponies and 210,000 acres in horse use, by a 2023 study for the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association.

The farm trailer pattern

A working farm trailer gets short, frequent hauls and long rests, and the mats stay down between them. Every aluminum horse trailer maker we cover tells owners to pull the mats and wash the floor on a schedule: Sundowner every sixty days, Featherlite and Exiss at least every three months, 4-Star every six months. When that slips, urine under the mats goes to work on the floor. See trailer floor replacement and aluminum corrosion and white powder.

The running gear follows the calendar, not the odometer. Dexter calls for bearings every 12 months or 12,000 miles, and a farm trailer hits the 12 months first. See wheel bearing service.

Ramps and partitions

Ramps get used every load, and a heavy ramp means a worn or broken counterbalance. Sundowner’s manual says ramp torsion springs are not user serviceable and must be serviced by someone trained in torsion spring safety. See ramp too heavy to lift and horse trailer repair.

Several trailers, one visit

Farms around Reddick often have more than one trailer. We can go through several in one visit, with each trailer quoted on its own lines so you can decide what gets done now. See also Anthony, Williston and our service areas.
