Horse Trailer Courses
We've spoken to lots of people in the equestian world who have never towed their horse in a trailer because they did not want to take the B+E driving test.
The good news is that all that has now changed. After 16 December 2021, the B+E driving test was abolished meaning Category B (car) licence holders can now tow a trailer weighing a max. 3500kg with a tow vehicle weighing a max. 3500kg.
We offer a 1/2 day course which focusses on coupling your trailer safely, towing on the road and manoeuvring. This session builds confidence, enabling you to tow to events or to the coast for a ride on the beach. Furthermore, once you're reached your event or returned to the stables at the end of the day, you'll be able to reverse your trailer with ease!
Clients must provide a suitable tow vehicle and trailer (speak to us if you do not have a trailer). The tow vehicle must not exceed 3500kg GVW and the loaded trailer must not exceed 3500kg MAM. You must be entitled and fit to drive, and hold a valid UK Driving licence for the class of vehicle.
Courses are £150 for 3 hrs.
These courses can be sold as a Gift Voucher. There is an additional charge of £5 for postage and packaging. Ask us for more details.
Commercial Trailer Training & Assessments
