Breech bar that's operated from the front of a trailer?

[joycemorgan]

Hi,
I recall some years ago seeing info about a breech bar designed to be operated from the front of the trailer, for people travelling alone with their horse. I think it had a bar along the inside of the trailer and the handle to lower the breech bar was located at the front by the breast bar? It looked like a brilliant idea for the safety of lone travellers. But I can find no reference to this now. Is there anyone out there who knows about these please?
Thanks.

It was called the Tui bar. I agree that it sounded like a great idea, but it doesn't seem to still be in production.

Thanks for the info. I'm sure that's the one I was thinking of. Sadly it looks like you are right, I can't find any current references to it either.

Thanks for replying, this is the sort of thing I'm looking for. Looks great!

The Tui bar went out of production, I suspect because it was very expensive to fit. I make and sell a harness that is designed to do a similar job - stop the horse backing out once it's in the box but without using the pressure of a headcollar.

A few people has asked, so hopefully this doesn't count as advertising... the website is www.soloequestrian.com and there is information and a video of the horse who inspired the idea!
