Alfako Competition Trunks: MINI, MIDI & MAXI Guide — Which One Do You Need?
Whether you're heading to your first local show or packing for a week-long national championship, having the right competition trunk makes all the difference. Alfako is Spain's leading brand for equestrian trunks — and their MINI, MIDI and MAXI range covers every rider's needs.
This guide compares all three sizes so you can choose the right Alfako tack trunk for your situation.
What is an Alfako equestrian trunk?
Alfako competition trunks (also called horse show trunks, tack trunks or rider trunks) are heavy-duty polypropylene storage cases on wheels. They're designed specifically for equestrian use: built to withstand stable environments, horse trailers, and the rigours of show life.
Key features across the entire range:
- High-resistance polypropylene shell — scratch and impact resistant
- Smooth-rolling wheels for easy movement in stables and paddocks
- Secure latches to keep your gear safe during transport
- Available in multiple colours
- Compatible with Alfako replacement wheels and accessories
Alfako MINI trunk — compact and manoeuvrable
The Alfako MINI is the smallest in the range. Don't let the size fool you — it fits everything you need for a day at the shows: riding helmet, gloves, body protector, chaps, a small grooming kit and some spare equipment.
Best for: One-day competitions · Riders who travel light · Pony and junior riders · A second trunk for accessories
The MINI is the easiest to handle in tight stable aisles and small horse trailers. Its compact footprint means you can fit more in your lorry without sacrificing organisation.
Alfako MIDI trunk — the all-rounder
The Alfako MIDI is by far the most popular size. It strikes the perfect balance between capacity and practicality — enough room for a full set of competition clothing, multiple leg boots, grooming kit and spare equipment, without becoming unmanageable.
Best for: Regular competitors (one to three day shows) · Amateur and semi-professional riders · Those who need clothing + horse equipment in one trunk
Most riders who own one trunk own the MIDI. It fits comfortably in most horse trailers and lorry grooms' areas.
Alfako MAXI trunk — maximum capacity
The Alfako MAXI is the choice of professionals and serious competitors. With maximum internal volume, it holds everything: multiple sets of competition clothing, full sets of leg boots for two or more horses, blankets, grooming kit, spare tack and more.
Best for: Multi-day competitions (3+ days) · Professional riders and trainers · Riders managing multiple horses · Equestrian schools and clubs
Quick comparison: MINI vs MIDI vs MAXI
When choosing between sizes, ask yourself:
- One-day shows only? → MINI
- Regular shows, one or two horses? → MIDI
- Multi-day events or multiple horses? → MAXI
Alfako tack room cabinets
If you need permanent stable storage rather than a transport trunk, Alfako also produces a range of tack room cabinets in steel, aluminium and stainless steel — available in MINI, MIDI PRESTIGE and MAXI COMFORT models. See our equestrian cabinet range.
