Buy or hire the Hippomobile if...
- you want one that is 5kg lighter empty
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.

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.
