Ifor Williams 511 diagonal?

[NagsEquestrian]

Doing a bit of google searching and came across an Ifor Williams 511 trailer with a diagonal partition, after a bit more google searching it seems this is being offered as an option now, mostly in Europe.

Anyone tried one of these trailers, or had their 510/511 trailer converted to diagonal loading? How did your horses travel in it?

My horse travels diagonally very happily. She travels happily every way tho, I don't think diagonally makes a difference, and I just use it to fit them in my (cattle) trailer.

I think many of the 510's can be set up to travel three small ponies and they go in diagonally - I've not done it (mine are too large) but certainly the partitions can be set up to do this.

Here's the link to a French site with the 511 with diagonal partition.

Never seen that before - but those partitions don't look massively sturdy to me?
