so my daughter now wants to get out and about with her pony and start showing, so now i need to do the maths and see how best to present this to hubby!!

i passed my drivers test in 97 but after the change in licence entitlement.

so am i right in thinkingi can still tow provided the combind weight is less than 3500kg??

i have been looking on internet for some trailers- unfortunatly were looking at cheap for now, very few ads state the weight of the trailer- can someone give me an idication of weight for a 2 horse trailer- older style of rice trailer


so if we have a freelander that weighs 2000kg and a pony that weighs 400kg, then if the trailer is less than 1100kg would i be ok to tow without the seperate test??


if anyone with older cheaper trailers would be willing to post the trailer type and weight then i'd really appreciate it, so when im browsing the ads i'd have an idea as to what to look for.

thanks for any advice :)
 
I think Old Rice are quite heavy but I know Richardson and Wessex were lighter when I was looking to tow with my car (around 800kg unladen) but newer Wessex I have now with plastic type flooring is a bit heavier. I towed with VW Touran with up to two smallish ponies so Freelander will be fine providing you are not expecting to tow 2x horses of 500+kg each.
