Buyer's Guide: Equestrian Trunks for Horse Shows — Alfako MINI, MIDI, and MAXI
Whether you're preparing for your first local competition or a championship week, having the right equestrian trunk makes all the difference. Alfako is the leading Spanish brand for equestrian competition trunks, with three sizes to cover all needs.
What is an Alfako equestrian trunk?
Alfako competition trunks — also known as equestrian chests, horse trunks, or rider cases — are robust containers made of high-strength polypropylene, mounted on wheels. They are designed specifically for equestrian use: resistant to stable environments, transport vans, and the demands of competition life.
Features common to the entire range:
- High-strength polypropylene shell — shock and scratch resistant
- Smooth-rolling wheels for easy movement in the stable and paddock
- Secure closures to protect your equipment during transport
- Available in several colors
- Compatible with Alfako replacement wheels and accessories
Alfako MINI — compact and maneuverable
The Alfako MINI trunk is the smallest in the range. Don't let its size fool you — it holds all the essentials for a competition day: helmet, gloves, body protector, chaps, a basic grooming kit, and some spare equipment.
Ideal for: One-day competitions · Riders traveling light · Pony riders and young riders · Secondary trunk for accessories
The MINI is the easiest to maneuver in narrow stable aisles and small vans. Its compact size allows you to load more equipment without sacrificing organization.
Alfako MIDI — the versatile trunk
The Alfako MIDI trunk is by far the most popular. It offers the perfect balance between capacity and practicality — enough space for a complete competition outfit, several leg protectors, a grooming kit, and spare equipment, without becoming unmanageable.
Ideal for: Regular competitors (1 to 3-day competitions) · Amateur and semi-professional riders · Those who need clothes + horse equipment in one trunk
Most riders who own only one trunk choose the MIDI. It fits comfortably in most vans and horse trucks.
Alfako MAXI — maximum capacity
The Alfako MAXI trunk is the choice for professionals and serious competitors. With maximum internal volume, it holds everything: multiple competition outfits, complete sets of leg protectors for two or more horses, blankets, a grooming kit, spare tack, and much more.
Ideal for: Multi-day competitions (3 days or more) · Professional riders and trainers · Riders managing multiple horses · Equestrian centers and clubs
