Not new to horses but completely new to towing!


I have bought a Suzki Grand Vitara to tow off of, any one used one of these to tow off of before ?

It was already fitted with a detachable tow bar , any advice ? are they good to use ? i have also no clue how to fit it :((

also i was thinking of a cheval liberte trailer ? any good reviews ?


All comments helpful thank you !!!
 
Cannot help with towbars but can help with weight and licence issues especially if intending to tow on a B only licence - see the HHO TOWING CLINIC link in my signature below
 
My old car was a grand vitara with detachable tow bar. Could only tow my lightweight boy in a lightweight trailer (think old fibreglass rice) when in an Ifor I was close to the limit. I never detached the tow bar after the first times and the clip rusted shut. However, before this, I did have a time when the trailer was empty and a parked partially on the kerb, the tow bar twisted round and partially detached!
 
Get a real tow bar fitted. I've heard of too many detachable a detaching when not meant to. I wouldn't put anything I cared about in a trailer on a detachable bar.
