Hi there

Am looking for a trailer to move our two 16.2 boys around. Have owned a Bateson Dueville before but never an Ifor just been looking at the dimensons of the 505 compared to the 515 and they are longer and 10cm wider and that seems about all.
Availability is much better for the 505. Just wondered about your experiences. Would love an Equitrek but need to buy a 4x4 as well and the 10k budget just wont stretch.
What are your experiences?
 
I have a Deauville and am delighted with it.
However you may consider the Ascot for 2 big boys.
My mares are 16.3 and 15.2, plenty of room for the two.
Personally I would stick with Bateson.

Bateson :)
I chosethe Deauville model as it has a lower unladen weight (the Ascot & Deauville both have the same maximum weight capacity (2300kg), but as the Deauville is a lighter trailer you can hold more horse & equipment. It was only 65kg difference, but every little helps! lol!)
 
I used to have a Bateson and was very pleased with it. Always looked like new after washing down and horses travelled very well in it.

At the time I was buying the Bateson suspension seemed ahead of other trailers on the market.
