vic, it is an ifor williams two horse trailer, you pull usually with two big horses in and it seems quite stable--mind you when i take my big baby horse out he can be a bit unpredictable--so its not so stable at times!!
you do an excellent job towing them though   ;) :clap:

my diesel frontera is not too bad, it drags abit up rockingham hill though  lol

Yer but then you call us to tow your trailer and the frontera back up the hill!!  :lol: :lol: :lol:(Only Joking)

Terranosaurus:
Another one into the mix

Terrano II - LWB is probably more suited to towing but I've used my lifted SWB to tow my other halfs horses around with no problems at all. Plated to tow 2.8T so enough for what you're talking about though not as much as some of the above, but if you go for an intercooled diesel model (mk2 onwards with bonnet scoop) you can have TD5 power for 200TDi money, mega reliable engine will go to the moon and back - they fitted them to london taxi's too.

lambert:
not horses but a 3500kg twin deck sheep trailer fully loaded up a 1in3 incline on the back of my disco with not a bit of fuss due to being able to use low box without tightening the drivetrain. discovery 200tdi, bonza!
