Over twenty years ago, Rice Trailers worked together with David Holmes, a horse trainer and engineer from New Zealand, to develop the first rear facing horse trailer. The Rice Equipoise takes the original design ideas and harnesses the latest research, technology and engineering components, creating a trailer that is innovative in its design and capabilities. The Equipoise has been developed to be particularly easy to load - even for horses and owners who struggle with loading. It can be loaded with the rear ramp down, the top doors open and the rear breast bars in place. To improve comfort and reduce anxiety, there are large windows in the rear top doors and the rear third of the roof, maximising available daylight. Gross weight can be increased to 3200kg if required.
