{{AFC comment|1=Read through all the linked information above. None of the sources meet the criteria. The first source is a blog so not a reliable source and the next three are press releases and/or paid placements which are not reliable nor independent, with the last two almost the exact same article. Not to mention trade publications generally cannot be used to establish notability. S0091 (talk) 14:58, 28 May 2025 (UTC)}}

Double D Trailers is an American company specializing in the design and manufacturing of horse trailers. Founded in 1997 by Brad Heath, the company is headquartered in North Carolina and is known for its focus on equine safety and trailer innovation.

History

Double D Trailers was established in 1997 as a custom horse trailer manufacturer aiming to address common safety concerns in equine transportation. Over the years, the company has introduced several proprietary features designed to enhance the safety and comfort of horses during transit.
