Which side for jockey door on a new trailer?

[rubyrumba]

I am ordering a new ifor williams trailer and i have to decide which side the jockey door and front ramp go. I am thinking jockey door on passenger side like normal but just wondering what everyone else thinks ad why. Thanks

Yes keep it to the passanger side or else you run the risk of getting run over checking the horses on the side of the road.

Yes that is what i thought too! Wondering why anyone would change it though?

Most of the other trailers have the ramp on the passenger side so suppose IW thought they would give a choice??? The only advantage I found with the ramp on the passenger side was it was so much easier to unload a big horse as it had more room to turn as it travels on the right.

Oh yes, maybe.

I like having my ramp on the passenger side. It's handy if you have to park next to a road as you are unloading the horse onto the grass and not the actual road.
