For owners who compete in carriage driving, or simply want the option, the Gold Marathon carries two horses and brings the vehicle along with them, all in one outfit.
What sets this trailer apart is the reinforced platform up front, roughly 1.5 by 1.9 metres and rated to take around 300kg, with its own set of ramps so loading the carriage doesn't mean wrestling it into place by hand. It's a genuinely different design brief to a standard double, built specifically to carry gear most trailers were never meant to.
Despite the space given over to the carriage platform, the stalls themselves keep the same fittings you'd expect from the range: height and length adjustment on the breast and breach bars, padded side protection, and the Pullman suspension that keeps the ride settled even with the extra load up front.
Anodised aluminium panelling and a sealed aluminium floor handle the wear that comes with regular loading, and the trailer is available in a handful of exterior colours so it can match your yard or simply your taste. A tack room can be added for drivers who want harness and tack kept apart from the horses.
Carriage trailers aren't something most buyers order sight unseen, so we keep the Gold Marathon on view at our Taunton showroom in Somerset, where you can walk the platform and stalls yourself before deciding.
The front platform measures roughly 1.5 by 1.9 metres and is rated to around 300kg, which covers most marathon and driving trial carriages. It's worth checking your carriage's dimensions and weight against those figures before ordering, since anything larger or heavier may not sit securely.
No, a tack room is available as an optional extra rather than fitted by default. If you carry harness and driving equipment as well as ridden tack, it's worth adding at the point of order.
It's a double trailer, built for two horses travelling alongside the carriage platform up front.
Yes, the carriage platform's load adds to the trailer's overall weight, so it's worth checking your tow vehicle's capacity against the trailer's gross weight with a loaded platform, not just its unladen figure.
The roof and front panel come in a small range of colours, typically black, grey, blue, white and purple, so you can match it to your existing trailer or towing vehicle.
