Cheval Liberte Touring One

Cheval Liberte is a French manufacturer best known outside France for its Pullman suspension system, and the Touring One brings that to a single-horse trailer sized for one large horse, or a mare travelling with a foal at foot. If you only move one horse but that horse is a big-framed warmblood or draft cross, this is built for that specific case rather than being a scaled-down double.

The Pullman V2 suspension is the headline feature: an independent suspension setup designed to sit lower and ride smoother than a basic leaf-spring axle, which in practice means less jolting transmitted through the floor on rough tar or gravel – the kind of road surface that is common rather than exceptional once you are off the highway in South Africa.

Loading flexibility is a strong point here: a front ramp for calm front-loading, plus a rear combination ramp/door, and a full-height groom’s door for supervised access without dropping either ramp. That combination matters more for a mare-and-foal load than it might for a single adult horse, since foals often need a handler alongside them rather than loose in the stall.

Because this is an imported French trailer rather than a locally built or UK-sourced unit, it is worth asking us directly about parts lead times and which components are commonly stocked locally versus ordered in – not a reason to avoid the trailer, but a fair question for any imported vehicle before you are relying on it during a show season. Confirm current pricing and exact towing weight for the unit in stock.

A new import like the Touring One still needs to be licensed for South African roads before you tow it – a trailer licence disc is required regardless of where the trailer was built, so build that step into your timeline alongside delivery rather than assuming you can hitch up immediately. We can point you to the right local process once you have decided on this unit.
