    Reviews of Fautras Oblic +2

    I love my oblic 2 (although is an older version) my pony and my friends pony travel really well in it too (mine particularly isn’t a fan of travelling forwards But very chilled herringbone)

    Herringbone style trailers

    I love my oblic 2 and so does my horse, regularly travel one and don’t seem to have a problem, I have the older version which doesn’t have a front ramp and may struggle to manoeuvre a 16.1 in there but otherwise it’s a fab trailer! Tack room at the front very handy too!

    Herringbone trailers

    I have a vans fautras obliq 2, mines the older version but I love it so does my horse, who also struggled in a forward facing trailer. Find he’s so much more chilled when we’re out and about too, I assume because he’s not been wound up by not liking the trailer

    Taking two horses to Nottingham uni

    there was a few in my year that kept horses elsewhere. It’s just the bucs teams that you can’t use your own horses so it’s a fair playing field for everyone. The friendly riding club comps You can take your own horse if you want to. The sb riding club uses long lane as it’s riding school

    has anyone paid for a horse whilst studying full time at uni?

    I had mine for the last 2 and a half years of my vet degree although the final year he was on loan to a college due to me being all over the place on placement. I paid for him but mainly with savings from before uni as had no time to work once at uni!

    Need towing car advice....

    I towed catering trailers for the people I used to work for, they are heavier than you think they are! We towed with 3l pickups which towed them really well but you deifnately need some oomph! Also depends where you're wanting to go as some sites we went to got very very muddy and getting the...

    Going out in the trailer

    I took my pony out on my own for the first time the other day, just take it steady and you'll be fine. One thing I hadn't thought of until I did it though was doing everything by yourself for example previously my mums always been with me so I've loaded and she's put the back bar up but when...
