As it says really, ideally Ifor Williams and the icing on the cake would be a central cattle gate but other makes and stock partitions considered.

Must be good condition and roadworthy, and I do need the extra headroom size as the Highland ponies will go in there aswell as other livestock, equipment, round bales, furniture..

Closer is better this time of year, but happy to travel a wee bit if seller flexible to weather wimp-out

Hope you find one - you'll be lucky though. We looked for a while and ended up buying a new one. It's 7ft high and 10ft long, I think, so my Highland pony can travel in comfort, plus we've used it for cattle, sheep, furniture, hay, feed etc etc.

It's been a great buy.

We bought ours from Peter after posting on here about the respective merits of carrying a horse in a livestock trailer or livestock in a horsebox. We went for the livestock trailer and it's been great. Last summer, a friend of mine used it to take his young pony to shows. The pony travelled really well and when he wasn't in the ring, the trailer was his loosebox, with the gates closed and the ramp down

He was, at that time, small enough to turn round. Not sure he would be now though.
