Do small horse trailers have brakes?

How do I know if my horse trailer has electric brakes?
If you have electric brakes there will be wires (usually blue) going into the wheel hubs. There should also be a device about the size of a cigarette pack mounted on the tongue. A wire protrudes from it and this wire should be connected to the frame of the TV when towing.
What is EOH trailer brakes?
Like a purely hydraulic system, an electric over hydraulic (EOH) braking system is activated whenever the tow vehicle brakes are applied and the trailer surges forward. Unlike the older system, however, the EOH actuator is electric, so the trailer’s brakes are applied instantly, with almost no lag time.
How do I know if my electric brakes are working?
The thing is, it’s not always easy to tell which (if any) trailer brakes are working just by pressing the pedal during a test drive. Instead, you’ll want to look for a slide bar on your brake controller. It should go from 0 to 10 or will have an indicator light.

Do I need electric brakes to tow a camper trailer?
Rather than relying solely on the brakes in your tow vehicle, many trailers come equipped with electric brakes to give them some stopping power of their own. In fact, this safety measure is legally required in several states for RVs above a certain weight, and it’s almost always a better idea than going without them.
Can I tow a trailer with electric brakes without a brake controller?
The answer is, no. Electric trailer brakes do not work without a brake controller. If your trailer is equipped with electric brakes, you will need a brake controller to tow. These are a hydraulic braking system that uses the trailer’s own weight and momentum to actuate the brakes.

I suggest no more than 12 months or 12,000 miles between changing brake parts that can wear.
What comes in a tow package?
