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.

- you want one that is 37cm (1ft) wider inside
A configurable enclosed cargo trailer for tradespeople, exhibition and event companies and small hauliers who need a lockable, weatherproof load area rather than an open bed. The low bed height is what makes loading practical without a ramp gradient that fights you.
