Horse Trailer Towing – What you need to know.

With new EU and UK legislation concerning driving horseboxes coming in almost every week, including tachograph rules and pollution charges in London, more and more of us are turning to the more economical alternative of a horse trailer.

The only problem is that anyone under the age of 30 in 2009 may not have the necessary driving class or category on their licence to legally tow a horse trailer over 750kg. You need to take another driving test to be road legal and insured. So, just to make sure we all know what's needed have a look at T & C Training, who specialise in teaching horse owners how to tow their horse trailers.

T & C Training offer specialised and expertise training by a fully qualified female driving instructor with over 20yrs experience of transporting horses.

Horse Trailer Towing Training is provided in a 4x4 vehicle towing an Ifor Williams trailer, this sets T & C apart from many other training providers as most just tow with a small car and normal box trailer and many instructors have no experience in transporting horses. T & c training believe in using vehicles similar to yours in order to ensure you are best equipped to transport your horse once you have passed your B + E test.

They even make it possible to use your own vehicle and or trailer provided the vehicles meet the minimum test requirements. You can check the requirements at www.trailerandcartraining.co.uk.

T&C Training cover horse trailer towing in Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire and even provide help for horse owners who are licensed to tow trailers but who may be nervous, rusty or just need help reversing. If you need help towing your trailer give them a call on Call or 07743 328450 or check out their website at www.trailerandcartraining.co.uk.

Get trained and make sure you don't end up on the six o'clock news.
