- you want one that is 40cm (1.5ft) wider inside
A lightweight two-horse trailer for private owners and small livery yards who want to tow with a car on a standard B96 licence rather than needing a 7.5 tonne horsebox. The all-polyester body and large front ramp aim to make loading easier than a steel-bodied trailer of similar size.
