Horse area size required for 16.3h

[c7mlm]

I have just sold my 3.5t lorry which had 8ft horse area height and was big and easily carried 2 horses.
I am now looking for 5.5t to 7.5t, i have seen one i like but the horse area is only 7ft 5 high, 7ft wide and 8ft long, this does not seem big to me,
What is an average horse area size for 16.3h thanks

its the length that would worry me most. I had a 7.5t for a 17h gelding, and the nose to bum length was 8ft 2inch. He found it too small, and rubbed his bum everytime. I now have a 3.5t, which is 7ft 2inch from bum to breast bar, and head has lots of room over that.

thats what i was worried about they are advertising it as 2 horses 3 ponies but it sounds more like a pony box to me.

If it were the right price you could always have it restalled so it is herringbone (diagonal); which horses find more comfy than forward facing anyway.

If it's 2 horse / 3 pony then the idea is to travel them herringbone, making the nose to tail length longer as necessary. Most 7.5 tons with living are arranged like this
