Full length bars for IW trailer?

[chestnut cob]

I'm trying to get hold of full length front and back bars for an IW 505 trailer - any ideas where I can get some reasonably priced (ie, cheap!!) from?

Spoke to local IW dealer and they want £70 inc VAT for the two, which isn't too bad, but thought I would see if anyone knows anywhere I can get them cheaper?

New horse needs partitions taken out for travelling so need to invest in full length bars! Thanks

TBH thats a good price and unless you can find secondhand probs best to get from IW direct

I didn't think it was a bad price but had to be worth a try seeing if I could get them cheaper!

I got them for £35 each so £70 for the two is about as cheap as it will get

Well worth the money too

that sounds about right. if you really want to save money you could try without the back bar. we just have the front bar, and throw the ramp up as soon as murphy is in.

[/ QUOTE ]CC please don't try this, as has been said many times before its unsafe for many reasons and your horse will skin itself on the back ramp which feels like a cheesegrater to the touch.

Don't worry Bess, I wasn't about to. I think it would be dangerous - what if he went to back out while I was putting the ramp up? Could be nasty!

Am definitely buying a front and back. Horse isn't keen on the trailer at the best of times (as you know) so I want to make it as painless as possible for him!

ebay!! They are regularly on ebay, in singles and in pairs and never go for full retail price.
