Just watched something called incredible animals on CBBC. One boy shown on it had been out camping in his familys farm and decided to carry his pet cat who had followed him home. The cat suddenly ran off so he followed some movement into long grass assuming it was his pet cat. he was then...

I think this is a better site as it gives tow capacity based on 85% of kerb weight of vehicle. Mine will tow a Bateson derby, but some of the 4x4's such as the Hondas have a similair tow weight ! I agree that towing with a terrios would be mad -maybe they meant tow car and trailer with a pony...

thank you guys for your further comments, I do appreciate the comments re wear and tear had a peugot 405 blow up on me and had to hitch hike the remaining 20 miles to endurance ride with pony! My theory such as it is that as my towing will be 1 to 2 per month that I can balance that cost...

not what I would do personally, but what if they were worried about horses in horrible rain and made up an excuse for getting them in? cant really blame them for that and they are THEIR horses.

sort of like my 19 year old - currently gearing up after bucking me of in the VHS class (just got too excited in the canter/racing start as far as he was concerned) to getting his 1500 k award next year with endurance gb....

[ QUOTE ] for those with cars take a look on here http://www.towinghorsetrailers.co.uk/index.htm and go to the section towing vehicles.Put your tow vehicle into the top bit your trailer into the bottom part and the weight of your horse/horses and you will find out if you are exceeding the law...

thanks Guys, interesting to read such diverse views. Alas a 4x4 (my hearts desire!) is out of the question at present. We cant afford a second car and as I often do 400+mile round trips for business I could not afford to buy and use a cheap 4x4 as a first car! My saab does 56 miles to 60...

I bought a saab 93 1.9 turbo diesal for work. Cunning plan was to tow with other halfs massive car. He is now out of work and car has been sold so I am down to towing with my saab. it is plated to tow 1600(KGs?) and gross kerb weight is 1400 (kgs?). I will probably have to buy a suitable trailer...

thank you all for responding. I will now start looking as 403's v cheval mare and foal. I like the Batesons but want a front unload . The money that was intended for new horsey as I thought pony was on the way to full retirement is now ear marked for a new trailer - VHS regional show here we...

I joined this forum after reading the threads about single trailers. I am considering buying one as I sold my old trailer a year ago as I thought my pony would have to retire(big mistake!). I had a richardson rossette with no partions as pony hates these and wont travel with other horses. I...
