Life and horse trailers.....kicking around options

I have never heard of the phrase useless as a marzipan dildo...but now I have. And it made my shitty afternoon so much better.

I would do towbar and a trailer. You can pick up an older ifor 505 for not much money.
 
I would get a tow bar on the yeti and buy a suitable second hand trailer .
You can part with trailer in the future without much loss.
I think the freedom it will give you to enjoy Hermosa will make all the hassle of sorting it out worth while .
My Mum spent the war at Aberfoyle and used to take us there when we where children.
Just go for it hacking there will be glorious.
 
I borrowed it from 'The Thick of It.'

A 505 is 907kg and a 511 is 1000kg. Horse is 450. Both those put you at or near the kerbweight of the car, but under the recommended tow weight. We wouldn't be travelling with tons of other supplies for some time. But this is where I am getting hung up.

Not wild about the 401/403 because I think the horse would prefer a bigger, inviting space to walk into. I'd replace the divider with a full length breast bar, as someone suggested earlier in the thread.
 
Have you seen a 401/403? A livery at my yard has a single Ifor trailer (sorry, not sure which model) and it has a surprisingly roomy space inside - probably larger than half of the 505. It's possible that this looks more inviting from a horse perspective than the normal half trailer width that they have to go into.
