It also would be great if it could hold 2 bikes - but that is not a requirement. Ive attached a photo. Let me know if you have something that would work.

I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, with the oblong shape of the internal rib of your horse trailer, we do not carry anything that will allow bikes to be securely fastened and fold down. For your situation, I recommend the Yakima BlockHead Single Bike Truck Bed Mounted Rack - Bolt-on # Y01117. The BlockHead is great because of the versatility of the drill-on installation. Once installed, you can mount your bike vertically with the fork attached at the top and the wheel end on the bottom. For this feat, I recommend the Retractable Ratchet Straps - S-Hooks - 1" x 12' - 500 lbs - Qty 2 # Q34FR to fasten around the wheels or frame to mounting points on the trailer. One thing to keep in mind is that you might have to purchase an additional rear nut to place on the installation bolts depending on the width of the rib itself.
