plz help us. We have been agonising for weeks overs our "trailer Trauma", my mum can hardly sleep with confusion.
As the season of showing and other exciting stuff we need to get a trailer sorted and on the way.
Have nearly mad decision- really like bateson but have found does not have external panic release for breastbars.
how essential do other trailer owners think they are?
Plz help us- I want to do cross country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Mum is also driving me INSANE with her indecision!!!!)

I can't say in the past ten years that I have ever heard of anyone having needed to use them - but it appears that several other trailers have them.
 
I have a horse box but the breast release bars are important. Once a pony I know, reared up in a small lorry and put his front legs over the partition. As it was solid they had to try and lift him off, so go for manual release breast bars if possible :P
 
Thanks for the messages, it seems that all the makes i am looking at have this feature apart from the bateson which is my favourite in all other respects. Will have to ponder some more.
I am not quite as mad as my daughter says i am.

I own a Bateson and would highly recommend them, my solution to the breast bar is to turn it upside down and put the safty clip in, in the event of the horse getting over the bar it would collapse
 
You can have something fitted after market. I think that it's called a duo bar. It lifts the breast and tail bar at the same time and can be undone easily from the outside.
