Nightmare experience yesterday on way to our RC event.
We set off from our yard and drove up the driveway. As we went over the last speed bump (very slowly I add), the trailer came off the car towbar and crashed onto the tarmac.
Thank goodness both boys were ok and stayed upright and we managed to get them off unscathed. Walked them back to yard. Shortest trip out ever. Dont think they could believe how short their trip out was!
Has anyone else had this experience or can think why it happended?
My friend had travelled 5 miles (15+ minutes) to my yard with her horse onboard and no probs. Had already come in over speed bumps and the potholes with no issues.
Car is huge Nissan Navara and trailer is well serviced and has towed 2 horses before. Up to two x 16.2hh capacity.
Really scary experience! Its rather put me off buying my own trailer!!!
