I have never been a fan of 3.5t boxes... I've always said I would never ever ever buy one of the little van ones (just my personal opinion)... Last summer I shelled out for a 4x4 and an ifor williams 505. I love my trailer... but my car, has been one expense after another. The insurance on the...

This has been discussed with my vet, only thing is he has horrendous sweet itch, despite being rugged up in a very good rug, the midges drive him insane after a few hours. He's normally turned out just over night which he's fine with and it's taken us years to find this option that works best...

I'll give the feed a go tomorrow, thank you. I'm terrified now that he's going to hurt himself. He's absolutely nuts !

Hi all, In serious need of some serious help... well and truley lost the plot. Horse is recovering from a nasty ligament injury. Last scan revealed fantastic healing which means he can now go out in small bit of field. Vet said it's important that he's out for a few hours a day to keep the...

I've had the same problem. I'm 23! Finally took the plunge to buy a 4x4 and a trailer this summer. I opted for a Peugeot 4007 (pretty much the same as a Mitsubishi outlander) and an ifor 505. The car itself only costs me around £10 more a week on fuel and I travel roughly 45 miles a day, 5 days...

Thank you everyone. Can anyone recommend a good insurance company for it?

So I have finally made up my mind a purchased a trailer... I'm picking it up on Saturday. Does anyone have any recommendations for trailer insurance?

I did it ..... I paid a deposit on s trailer tonight. Ifor 505 Aliminium floor, lovely condition. Just perfect for me and my boy. Thank you for everyone's advice!

Oh really! I'm surprised as I thought the Batesons would feel bigger. I will have to beta that in mind thank you :). I'm very lucky that my brother is a mechanic so he will be coming to inspect with me :) I wont take any risks with anything that my horse will be going in... i'm literally such...

Thanks furrycat. I too have seen an Ifor 505. It's in fab condition from a reputable dealer in my area. I have lots of friends who have purchased their trailers off of him too so I trust him. I'm going to see it this weekend. It has an aluminium floor and is fully serviced. Hopefully it will be...

Ah great thanks for pointing that out :) I think I've seen the one I want... need to go and view this weekend. Fingers crossed !!!

Thank you for everyone's advice. I am still totally confused but still on the hunt!

Oh really. I thought they all did have? I am probably completely wrong lol! I have done so much research on different trailers that I've confused myself. My friend has a Cheval and my horse travels in it like a donkey. He loves it. They are just a little bit like gold dust second hand aren't they?

I'm so indecisive when it comes to the safety of my horse haha! I'm useless. I will of decided by the weekend ... I hope!

Thanks for the advice. I do really like the IFor 506's. I could afford one I just didn't want to take too much money out of my house savings lol. I am tempted though. I just keep changing my mind all of the time. I'll never get one at this rate! :(
