What do we all think of the new horseboxes

[brown tack]

I was totally shocked when i watched the video but made me think, your at a competition, you hardly get much space as it is, the amount of flaffing about to get your horses out, then fix it all back together again, where are you putting the horses in the process

ESP as you would have to pull the whole way forward to open the side ramp too

Yeah Totally useless in my opinion!!

'Could be useful for horses that find ramps difficult', heres a tip that will save £42k...... Train the damn things to walk up a ramp!

Or if that is the only way you can load them, get rid, you could get something very nice instead for the £42K

I think the design of those lorries would be useful for a trader who maybe needs a refrigerated lorry one day and not the next....

But I hate the idea of using one for a horse. The forward facing ones, you can't get the horse out in a rush because you can't get the ramp down...So if it throws a wobbly, you open the back doors and it falls out backwards?

They look scarily low on the body of the lorry? There can't be a chassis at all - so what is the floor of the container made of?

And you can bet your life that at some point the hydraulics will fail, will that happen when the horse is on the lorry, or when the container is on the floor?
