Have you ever seen a horse trailer like this before?

The front steering axle would take weight of the towbar, which - as cars get lighter to become fuel efficient - may be something we see on the roads in the UK in the next 20 years?

Interesting. American of course. I went on to the site but it is just an Auctioneers, I was hoping it would be a manufacturer.

How on earth did you come across that?

No, because driving licences are catagorised by weight, not axle configuration.

But yes, you would need a bit of practice to reverse one of those

Exactly the first thing that crossed my mind too was the separated axles being a real pain for those not accustomed to reversing split axle trailers.

All of our hay wagons are split axles and it does take time to figure out how to reverse them and if it goes wrong, it is difficult to easily correct it, so you have to start again.

I am just imagining some of these useless PC mothers who can't even reverse a regular double axle horse trailer .... my oh my, what pickles they could get into with one of these
