Buy or hire the Oblic+2 if...
A two-horse trailer that loads horses at a diagonal rather than straight ahead, giving nervous travellers more room to brace. It is hired by owners moving horses that struggle in conventional straight-loading boxes; UK ads sometimes list it under Cheval Liberte, the dealer that distributes it, rather than its actual French maker Fautras.
