Bred and native ponies rarely travel one at a time, so the Islandic is sized to move a whole group, up to six ponies or small horses up to 14.2hh, in a single run.
How the inside is fitted depends on what you tell us when you order: five ponies gets you telescopic partitions that adjust to each animal, six gets a simpler breast bar layout instead. Either way the stalls sit on the diagonal, which makes better use of the internal width than a straight arrangement would for animals this size.
A lighter animal feels road imperfections more than a full-sized horse does, which is where the standard-fit suspension earns its keep, smoothing out the kind of jolts that would otherwise unsettle a pony faster than a horse. Windows along both sides keep air moving the length of the trailer rather than just at the front.
A galvanised chassis and aluminium side panelling are there to shrug off years of loading and unloading, and the floor matting is bonded down rather than left loose, so it stays put under hooves.
Sizing a trailer for a group of ponies is easier done in person than from a spec sheet, so come and walk through the Islandic at our Somerset showroom before you commit.
Up to six, depending on how you order it. Choosing five ponies gets you telescopic partitions that adjust to each animal, while six comes with a simpler breast bar layout instead.
The Islandic is built for ponies and small horses up to 14.2 hands. Anything taller is better suited to one of the standard Maxi or Touring models.
The partition type is fixed at the point of order, since the five-space telescopic version and the six-space breast bar version are built differently. It's worth thinking through how you'll use the trailer most before ordering.
Yes, a walk-in tack room is included as standard, giving you somewhere to store rugs, headcollars and everyday kit separately from the ponies.
No, it runs the same Pullman suspension as the rest of the range. If anything it matters more here, since smaller, lighter animals tend to feel road imperfections more than a full-sized horse would.
