Trailers - rear facing?

[Shilasdair]

Given that horses are meant to travel better if they are facing backwards, what makes of trailer are designed for rear-facing horses?
And if anyone has them - are they any good?

My friend had a rice-Richardson. I will say it's a bit of a tight angle to get the second horse in.

I must say firstly i did have a 16.2hh trying to get in so don't know if size had something to do with it. Or i just had a stupid horse

Right OK. you know when you have two in a front facing trailer and when you take the first horse out near the ramp it can be a bit of a tight angle to get the horse out and down the ramp (i found it tight). Well i found it to be an even tighter angle to get the horse in loading it from the front. Second horse that is as its near the ramp. Hope i haven't confused you even more

I have an Equi-Trek and really like it. Horses load well and travel well. Plenty of space as I have the model for large horses and is light and airy feeling.
