Same, I could never share my horse either! The OP said if they had a half loan they would expect half the cost, so I guess I don't see the difference between a half loan and the OP being happy to pay half and then a part loan of 3 days a week, but finding £30 too expensive.

There's 7 days in a week and most people give their horse a day off, so a "part loan" of 3 days is half the horse, why would you expect to pay anything less than half the cost? Why should the owner subsidise you?

Rangers Equine Transport are really good, the lady Vikki is an equine nurse as well

Thank you, and everyone else for their replies it has been so helpful! :D I am testing the Kia Sportage tomorrow and the Ssang Yong Korando Monday!

Unfortunately that is only certain manual models, I am looking at the auto which is 1900kg :)

Thank you :)

Thank you! LICENCE B or B+E = B VEHICLE GVW = 2260kg Towing capacity = 2000kg Kerb weight = 1797kg TRAILER Un-laden/empty = 1000kg MAM = 2700kg Is there a way to travel one horse legally without the B+E licence? Thank you :)

Yes, I need to take that test, premature maybe to purchase a car before I have passed it, but I need a new car and seemed sensible to choose a car I will be able to tow with! Once I have passed that test I can tow anything, is that correct?

I would always have two people in the car plus tack and general junk that would live in ones car haha, why is it so important though? Sorry if it's a stupid question but I am new to this and google is confusing!

What do you mean by this please?

Thank you, that's really helpful :)

This is an honest question, but is 2 tonnes easily enough to tow a trailer and one horse then? I'm guessing it's not enough to tow two horses? I've also looked at the Ssang Yong Korando and that has 2 tonnes. People I know have been giving me such conflicting opinions!

Which model do you have please? As the one I'm looking at is towing capacity of 1.9 tonnes whereas some are more

I definitely don't want a single trailer, will the sportage not be able to comfortably tow an ifor 511 with one horse in then? On paper it says yes, but I don't want to be driving something that is only just within it's limits :) The Discovery is a lot more to buy though, even if they are...

Does anyone have a Kia Sportage and use it for towing? I am looking at the 2.0 auto Or does anyone have recommendations for a towing car? It needs to be economical though as it will be my everyday car too I have a 16.1hh horse, don't know her weight but she is fine/tb build and I don't...
