Buy or hire the Ascot if...
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 Portax L K if...
- you want one that is 94cm (3ft) longer inside
- you want one that is 10cm wider inside
- you want one that is 8cm taller inside
The longer 'L' version of the Portax K, giving taller or bigger horses more room while keeping the front-exit layout. It appeals to owners of warmbloods or cobs who found the standard Portax K too tight.
