wow!! over here in England you can't buy trailers like that at all,
your choice is down to a two horse trailer, with a back ramp and may
be a front offload ramp, if you can afford it, horses stand looking
forward, with a breast bar for them to lean on and a dividing
partition between horses. The other choice is a Lorry, which depending
on weight you require a special drivers licence for,tax, mot etc.

I've seen one of these giants once only, at a "Western Riding
Competition" where one of the Leading Lights had imported it from the
States. Only saw the outside, didn't get a chance to ask to see
inside.

For Endurance Rides where if your lucky and have a crew you need a
crew vehicle, this type of trailer would be great, living
accommodation instead of a tent, bliss.

Can anyone answer these questions

Are there many different companies selling this type of trailer.

What sort of Engine capacity for the towing vehicle would you need
to pull one of the smaller of these types of trailer.

What sort of width/length are they, our small country lanes might not
be able to cope with this type of vehicle.

Sounds like an opportunity for someone in the business over there in
the states.

Jan
