Buy or hire the Ascot if...

  • you want one that is 49cm (1.5ft) longer inside
  • you want one that is 15cm wider inside

A simple two-horse trailer from Bateson, similar in capacity to the maker's Deauville model. At 2300kg gross it stays towable by a mid-size 4x4 or pickup, which is why it turns up with private owners and small livery yards rather than professional transporters.

Buy or hire the Derby if...

A light double horse trailer that can be towed by a large saloon car rather than needing a 4x4, thanks to its low unladen weight. It suits owners moving one or two horses locally who want to avoid buying a heavier, purpose-built tow vehicle.
