Has to be better for them than front travel!! Definately. Really dont like normal trailers actually as think that it is causing them to put so much pressure on their front ends to keep their balance which is tiring, unnatural and can not be the best thing for them physically especially considering how unstable trailers are.
Because of this I really wanted to get an Equitrek for Owen because of his back problem. He loved travelling backwards in his renault master. He was a dream to load.
Now I have the ifor williams he is a bloody nightmare to load. This is the first time in four years that he has refused to be transported. He travels ok but I just know he is not happy with the extra pressure on his back.
So trying to save up for a new backwards facing trailer! Or even better, get a brand new renault master if I win the lottery!
Oh how cool!! Is that with a dealer- a part exchange for a new one?
Are you finding any problems with your Ifor? Mine is ok, just hate the lack of space and the wobble-ness of the whole thing and obv Owen does not like it! Have been spoilt by having a horsebox!
Which Ifor do you have? I had the 505, but now have a 510 - MUCH prefer the 510!! Before I had the 505 I'd towed my 2 in a Rice and a 510 and the 510 DEFINITELY gives the better ride and is easier to tow! No, it's private. The Richardson is 18 months old.
We have a little 2horse horsebox which is side loading and they face backwards in it - all the horses that have been in it love it! My old horse was a bugger to load but after a few trips in it was walking on without a second thought and rocks loves it.
