Buy or hire the C Transporter if...

Buy or hire the Hippomobile if...
- you want one that is rated 1.1 tonnes heavier gross
A two-horse trailer with a front platform sized to carry a horse-drawn carriage, aimed at driving competitors rather than everyday riders. It lets one outfit move both horses and the carriage they pull in a single tow, which is why it turns up with carriage-driving yards rather than general livery use.
