I would prefer a derv - more torque.

What van do you tow?

I was horrified the first time I hitched our current one up, the van is 26ft and the whole thing looks bloody massive. Soon get used to it though, goes superbly

Ive gotta 26' Coachman.... add to that 16' for the T2, and together its about 42'!

Or... 12.5 meters(ish)

Bearing in mind a 'Long Vehicle' is anything 15 meters plus its a fair outfit!

..... and I still get it all up a loose gravel incline bridalway, thats only 7'10" at the narrowest point to get it out of where its stored.... albeit in Low Box, going VERY carefully!!!!!

Welcome to the asylum!

But now you are starting to see what you can really get for your money if you're patient....

Hi Amnesia,
speaking from 1 horsey family to another, you will not go wrong with a T2 or Mav to tow your horse trailer with. I have a 97 T2 With intercooler, and tow regularly my daughters horses to showing events. My T2 just comes into its own when its towing. Can honestly say its the best thing ive ever towed with Bar none!
Incidentally what type/breed of horse you got. and what do you do( showjump, event, or just hack?
Cheers Wayne

Hi Wayne,

We have an Irish Sports (Thoroughbred / Irish Draft cross) called Finley.
He's 12 years old, and stunning (in our eyes). I am still schooling and learning, with the occasional hack, but my wife is very good with him and he's progressing very well. Up to about 3' jumps at the moment.

My wife did a small show at our stables last weekend... just a novice show, but we're hoping to jump him next year at some bigger shows.

Here's a quick pic from last Sunday.

Anyway, back on topic... I need to get something sorted soon, got some more shows coming up, and I can't take any more days off work. If this Maverick is in good nick tomorrow (the HPI check came up totally clear) then I will get it.

If I like it then I can see myself getting another one for my wife anyway, so will take my time and get a cracker then.

Cheers,
Daniel.
