Hello
It's been at least 100 years since I last logged on (well maybe not that long, but the forum has changed and my username has reverted back to a very old one!).
Anyway, those who do remember me (Lucy_Spring) - hello! And hello to people I don't know as well
I am after a trailer, I have about £3000 to spend and have to travel Springy, a rather elephant-like 16.2hh stroppy mare. So what do people advise? I am obviously considering Ifor Williams, but 505 or 510? While Springy would theoretically fit in a 505, she is a pain to load (hence getting a trailer for lots and lots of practicing!) and I want to make things as easy as possible on me. Any other brands to consider? We are getting a Toyota Landcruiser to tow with if that is a consideration to the trailer people recommend.
I am particularly interested to hear from anyone with a larger horse in a 505 or 506 and how they manage. To start with we will remove the partition to encourage loading, but I would like to be able to take other horses with us at some stage.
Thanks in advance.
Lucy
