      Place a foot locker or storage tote in the far corner of the horse trailer living quarters. This gives you extra storage space for your tack and riding clothes, while providing a handy place to sit down as you change and try on clothes.

      Hang a mirror in a convenient spot inside the living quarters. Use a mirror with shatterproof glass. Having a full-length mirror in the living quarters makes it much easier to check your clothes before you head out to ride.

      Check the number of hangers and shelves built in to the living quarters of the trailer. Place your riding clothes in these storage spaces. Add a garment bag hanger to the inside of the living quarters to give you even more space.

      Place an electric cooler inside the living quarters and connect it to the trailer or truck battery. The cooler runs off the power provided by the truck and trailer, keeping food and beverages cold without ice.
