Are there any laws that regulate the use of horse trailers?

Yes, Delaware does have laws that regulate the use of horse trailers. All horse trailers must be registered with the Division of Motor Vehicles and display proper registration plates. Additionally, horse trailer owners must display a current inspection decal, which is issued by the Division of Motor Vehicles. In order to be eligible for a registration and inspection decal, horse trailers must meet specific criteria set by Delaware law. The horse trailer must be in good repair and free from any structural defects. It must have brakes, lights, and other safety devices that are in proper working order. It must also be equipped with adequate restraining devices such as tie-downs or other securement devices to ensure the safety of the horse or horses inside. Additionally, the trailer must meet all applicable requirements of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). In addition to registering and inspecting the horse trailer, owners must follow all other state laws for vehicle safety and operation. This includes obeying speed limits, using headlights at night, and not operating the trailer while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Failing to comply with any of these regulations can result in fines and other penalties.
