Bateson trailers

[S_N]

Anyone have any experience of them? I've only used IW's and Rice/Richardson ones. All advice appreciated!

I've a very nice one for sale

Donkey would go on it reluctantly - refused to go in Ifors

I have the little Derby and I love it. Light inside and very easy to hitch and tow with my car. Does not move when travelling and seems to give a good ride for the horse. Less of a thief magnet compared on Ivors.

Chancer is now grown quite a bit so he now travels without the partition as it for 2 x 14.2 ponies.

When I bought the rear bar, Bateson were helpful and had it to be me within 48 hours from phoning them.

Have seen the larger ones and they were lovely but too big for my car and not really necessary for me as I am only taking one 15.1 cob out.

I had one and loved it, most reliable and would recommend.

I have the Ascot, I love it so much I'm taking it with me to Austrailia, its 2 years old and after its annual jet wash it looks brand new. The tack locker is really handy too.

I had one for about 8 years, always very reliable and horses travelled well in it because it was so light and airy. Twice IW trailers parked next to it were stolen, mine was always left alone, probably as they are less common so more noticeable when trying to pass them on.

Yes, I have a Deauville and would highly recommend it.

Hi i love mine, very light and airy and one of the best suspensions you can buy on a trailer. seem to sell very cheap second hand, cheaper than ifor god knows why they are much better!!

I've a Deauville & they are great. They ride well, don't rattle & I believe are better engineered than the Ifors. I actually think they retain their value better than the Ifors.

Brilliant. Love my Ascot. They are bright inside (being white), very easy to tow, the front ramp comes down on the 'correct' side (Ifors dont!), the front tack box is so useful and Bateson are very very helpful if you have any problems at all. They have improved them a lot now, I saw an Ascot the other day and all the tiny things we thought of improving on our older one - they've now done!
