I learned something interesting while ordering a new horse trailer a few years ago. The dealer knew I was intent on as low maintenance as possible, all aluminum, special matting, everything we could think of. The horses were enough work!
As a result, I ticked the option of aluminum flooring instead of standard 2x wood, which would be low maintenance. I discovered after delivery that it weighed considerably more than the wood version, probably the heaviest 2 horse non GN trailer imaginable. It was stout but very heavy. The dealer told me the wood ones give a smoother, more forgiving, ride for the horses.
