Carries on creakily
I haven’t taken the plunge and hired one yet. I’ve been back for another look at the HBX range and we still like it very much. We also looked at a new Cheval Liberte mare and foal trailer which is super smart on the forecourt and I expected to like it, but it seems very flimsy close up. The whole front nose cone is moulded from thin plastic, there’s no metal reinforcement to even screw a cctv camera to and the fixings are flimsy. I didn’t like the rear roll down mesh curtain which CV trailers have instead of top doors, it would not mask an HGV with its headlights full on and tailgating the trailer on the motorway. The HBX range is much more solid and useable, with more flexibility of where the breast and beach bars can be placed.Tiddlypom would love to know how you get on with hiring one and what your thoughts are. I'm in the same boat as you, same weight horse too!
We’re planning on going over to look at Bateson trailers soon, we were going to go last week but they are based at Marple which was caught up in the recent flooding worries, so we held off.
