Buy or hire the Hippomobile if...
- you want one that is rated 1.2 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.

Ifor Williams's entry-level flatbed range, bought by householders, gardeners and small trades for tip runs, garden waste and general loads. It is the trailer most UK hire yards keep several of, since one size or another suits almost any small job.
