[kerryflower]

hey
am looking to do my trailer test in 2 weeks. eeeek! anyway will be buyimg a jeep and am looking at trailers for sale I can't afford to spend a lot but was suprised to see the rice beaufort doubles for like 1500?! presumably they are quite old? anyway what are genral thoughts on them? are they good? Ive always travelled in my friends ivor williams so only know them. Ads say will take 16.2 and 7ft head room. is that about right?? any thoughts or opinions welcome

I used to have a really old one (only paid £900 for it about 15yrs ago) and absolutely loved it!!! Any horse I put in it loved it and never had a problem loading or travelling... sadly Dad sold it when I was on holiday as he thought I didn't use it anymore (horse was injured)... brought a brand new Ifor Williams 510 and horse hated it - took me up to half an hour to get him on it each time, although new horsey likes it ok!

They have wooden floors so check that is ok, but they are built to last so you can't go far wrong IMO!
