Buy or hire the Ascot if...
- you want one that is 3cm longer 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 HB506 if...
- you want one that is 2cm wider inside
The mainstream two-horse trailer in Britain, used by private owners and small yards. Its comparatively low unladen weight for the class is the practical point: it widens the range of 4x4s and large SUVs that can legally and comfortably tow it.
