OUR JOURNEY TO
Statistics show that 96% of businesses fail within 10
years, but one brand has stood solid for 20 years under
one man’s leadership. A staple in the aluminum horse
trailer industry, Bloomer Trailers, has made a name for
themselves as a reputable company that produces “only
the best” products for 20 years.
In 1998, Randy Bloomer, changed the horse trailer
industry for the better. As someone who was involved in
the Western industry and had experience with horse trailer
sales, Bloomer knew that the livestock safety was a huge
component of a trailer and he set out to modernize and
revolutionize the industry. Now, 20 years later, the Bloomer
Trailers brand is not only used by World Champions in
every Western discipline, but it is also being used by top
Billboard musicians, race car drivers and more.
This year, Bloomer Trailer Manufacturing is celebrating the
memories of their 20 years in the industry. To appreciate
their success, we must look back at where it all started.

our customers and their livestock,” said Randy Bloomer,
when speaking about why Bloomer Trailers is different than
other brands on the market. Their innovations led to the
newest model of the Bloomer Trailer, “The Evolution,” to
remind them that they have yet to build the perfect trailer,
so they had to keep moving forward and trying new ideas.
In 2002, Bloomer Trailers moved forward in a big way.
They started building a state of the art production facility in
Central Texas to serve as a convenient location for dealers,
customers and their vendors. Upon completion in 2003,
Bloomer Trailers moved over forty employees and their
families to Salado, TX to help continue the craftsmanship
that was expected by their loyal customers. Now, 15 years
after moving to Central Texas, the company continues to
live by their motto of, “only the best.” Today, Bloomer
