Hi there
Am looking to compete next year and need transport. I have looked at lorries and trailers. What is the advantage of either?
I would like a lorry as I feel more confident for me and the horse, but all the lorries I have seen for around £4000 are generally not that great, old and have a vague history.
However a trailer needs to have a 4x4 to pull it for weight reasons. Or does it have to be a 4x4?
If I buy a 4x4 and trailer I have to insure both and MOT both. With a lorry you have one lot of MOT/Plate and Tax and insurance.
If I am only using it throughout summer and for once a month would the lorry not just rust and rot?
I have a 15hh horse, so can anyone suggest a reasonable option? Help please would be appreciated.
Thanks
