Hey guys

I have an 18.2 WB who I am struggling to find a trailer or box for due to his size I have been looking into the hb511

Any advise would be greatly appreciated

A herringbone style trailer will easily take the length of the horse as the partitions move. I'm not sure about the head height, if trailers like the 511 are recommending max size is 2 x 17.2. Moving the partition doesn't give you more headroom.

Does he travel well and quietly? Someone I know had a big 17.3 in a 505, added padding over the horse's head just in case, and he was fine.

Travelling without the partition doesn't add more headroom, but if he can stretch his body more lengthways he might be more likely to carry his head a little lower.

If he's a good traveller I think he'd be fine in a 511 without the partition to give him more room. You could use a poll guard to give extra protection.
