Buy or hire the Hippomobile if...
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.

- you want one that is rated 100kg heavier gross
A general enclosed trailer for tradespeople and small hauliers who need to keep tools, bikes or stock dry and locked away rather than under a sheet. It sits below the BV125/BV106 in the range, so it suits loads that need weather protection but not extra width or gross weight.
