was having a chat at weekend with some other rider/parent's whilst we were stood at a competition in the freezing cold for 4 hours over running costs of both.
General view was a lorry for horses and a small run round for rest of the time was much cheaper to run in terms of fuel, mot's, plating , insurance etc rather than 1 4x4 for everything.
I would need a 7.5 ton as I transport 2 and a 3.5 ton would definitely not be up to weight for the job. We don't stay away so living not that important, thought useful as storage for show clothes etc.
Only issue I would worry about is that as most comps involved driving into fields is the wet ground and accessibility... I'm usually smugly driving out whilst lorries are being towed.
Any views opinions?
