Alfako MINI, MIDI, and MAXI Trunks: A Guide to Choosing Your Show Trunk
If you're looking for a quality equestrian show trunk, the Alfako brand is the benchmark in Spain. With three sizes available — MINI, MIDI, and MAXI — there's an Alfako trunk for every type of rider and competition. This guide will help you choose yours.
What is an equestrian trunk and what is it used for?
An equestrian trunk is the primary container for transporting and storing equestrian equipment at shows and during travel. It replaces traditional sports bags with a more organized, durable, and waterproof solution. It makes it easier to load, stack, and quickly locate gear in the paddock.
Alfako MINI Trunk: practicality for the essentials
The Alfako MINI trunk is the most compact in the range. With enough capacity for basic rider equipment (helmet, gloves, chaps, whip, and cleaning tools), it is ideal for:
- Riders attending one-day competitions
- Amateurs who want to start with something manageable
- Quick grooming supplies for the horse
Its reduced weight and wheels make it very easy to maneuver in busy stables and paddocks. View Alfako MINI trunk.
Alfako MIDI Trunk: the perfect balance
The Alfako MIDI trunk is the most popular model in the range. With an intermediate volume, it allows you to carry complete competition attire, boots, grooming accessories, and backup equipment. Perfect for:
- Regular riders at one or two-day competitions
- Those who need to carry rider's clothing + horse accessories
- Stables that combine transport and storage in stalls
Alfako MAXI Trunk: maximum capacity for serious competition
The Alfako MAXI trunk is the flagship of the range. With the largest available capacity, it allows for the transport of complete equipment for multi-day competitions: multiple changes of clothes, several sets of boots, light blankets, spare saddles, and all complete grooming supplies.
- Professional and semi-professional riders
- Competitions of 2 or more days (CSI, CDI, endurance stages)
- Stables and trainers managing multiple horses
Quick comparison: MINI vs MIDI vs MAXI
The right choice primarily depends on the duration of your competitions and the volume of equipment you handle. For one-day competitions: MINI. For regular use: MIDI. For professionals or long competitions: MAXI.
Alfako Cabinets: fixed storage in the stable
In addition to trunks, Alfako offers a range of saddle cabinets for fixed installations: barns, competition stables, and private stalls. The MAXI COMFORT, MIDI PRESTIGE, and MINI models are available in steel, aluminum, and stainless steel versions.
