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 HB510XL if...

  • you want one that is 1.06m (3.5ft) longer inside
  • you want one that is 9cm wider inside

For owners of taller or longer horses who find the standard HB511 too tight, giving extra internal length on the same 3500kg chassis so it stays towable by a suitably rated 4x4.
