Horsebox wantedWe are looking for a horsebox for our new arrivals. Would prefer an Ifor Williams in black (yeah, I know, fussy female, but I want it to match our truck :oops: ). If anyone knows of any for sale, or any local dealers, please let us know as we are struggling at the moment!

Yes, I meant trailer doh!
A pot of hammerite may come into the equation

Sounds like there will be some fun to be had in the learning process! The only one I've heard is to turn the wheel in the opposite direction to the way you want to go... probably not much help.
Glad you got sorted though

I should clarify, before anyone alerts the authorities, I was going to practice unladen

Yeah, turn in the opposite direction to start with, then once you have it going the way you want you can start to turn the correct way.
Probably worth practising a few times right enough though until you are sure you know what you're doing

Make sure that you haven't got a man in the area waving his arms about, shouting incomprehensible directions and generally criticising lol
I do fine when left on my own to figure it out , but go to pieces with someone (!!) giving directions.
The point that was really pressed home to me when I first learned was never ride your clutch when you have a trailer on. Let it out straight away

Yes, I figured that was the strange burning smell :oops:
Thanks everyone, I'll practice at home before showing season starts
