Back in 1997...
My first horse trailer was a little single horse trailer that I found advertised for $200, neglected and sitting on blocks in a paddock for years. Yes, it was a sad, ugly thing, but it was more than I could afford and I saw potential. I had one mini horse at the time, so it was enough.

With my dad doing the welding, we cut the walls off and lowered them so there was no more rust, repainted, new electrics, new window and locks, and she was good to go. It was easy enough. It was a great little lightweight float.
Traded in this trailer a couple of years later, when I had 2 ponies, and a carriage to transport as well. This little guy couldn't do it, and I was sorry to see it go. Now when I look it, I would change so much - the sharp edges on the door and mud guards, the open triangle over the lights, and the minimal lining inside would not be acceptable to me now, but fortunately, I never had a horse injured in or around this trailer, and we travelled almost every weekend to shows and clinics, and other events.
