Our float was customised by my dad. He and another man made it themselves. It has no actual brand.

Both sound super cool it's a whole big beautiful world out there. Here you would burn to death inside one of those lol. Plus we only have 65 miles of road from end to end...

That sounds awesome, would love to see. We also had ours custom welded/made for us, believe it or not lol. The hunters love our trailer and it gets lots of good attention over here.

No divider because Huddie likes to angle himself in the float.

Beautiful set up and sure is pretty I'd ride in that!
I'm not going to show my boys that photo- they would mutiny lol.

I wish the US would have more horse van (lorry) options available. It seems like an easier set up!

Agreed! Though... the US having yet another vehicle.... the obsession we Americans have with vehicles is ridiculous and a little embarrassing. Seems each household has 4 w/ three just siting in the driveway.

I know, so true! It seems like in AUS and the UK, it's more common to transport horses in a box van, rather than a tow-behind trailer (aka float) that is most often used here in the USA. A one-piece horse box truck (aka lorry) would be so much safer, it can't sway going downhill or flip on crazy roads among heavy highway traffic in bad weather conditions.
Back when I was shopping for my trailer, I was considering selling my pickup truck and buying a commercial box truck to convert for transporting horses, and buying a small electric car for local commuting to and from work. But no box truck I looked at was tall enough for horses at all, even leaving out the expense to convert it.
