Horrific trailer accident

Totally bloody fools - these accidents are becoming increasingly common and are so preventable. I have said it before, horses are a rich man's sport, if you can not afford to do it properly you should not do it - don't play with horses on the cheap!

Hey that is TOTALLY unfair GT's

We had this happen to us with a 3 year old trailer we had from brand new

We serviced every year - were we fools because a 2ft x 2ft section of the floor dropped out severing both back legs???

No - IFOR knew they had a fault with their floor and it was cheaper to pay people who had insurance off and tough luck to anyone who wasn't insured.

Glad you posted CSJ, I wanted to say something but thought I had better not.
 
No worries GT's - sorry for spouting!

Still really angry that nothing is being done about faulty floors!

Out of interest was the trailer in question an Ifor?
 
perhaps trailers should have to go through a sort of mot. some that you see on the road i wouldn't put my garden rubbish in they look totally unsafe. all ifor dealers will service them for you but i don't think people bother until something goes wrong.
 
Thanks for your support guys. Maybe boots wouldn't have helped its just that it was one of those accidents you hear about and never expect to see and I would not want anyone's horse to go through this.
