JR-EasyTraveller

I have used my JR float since 1997. In that time the float has transported several thoroughbred mares and foals, yearlings, racehorses and equestrian horses, all of which travelled exceptionally well.

The JR float stands true to its design when transporting double bay horses. I have a thoroughbred broodmare, of which in the past has turned herself upside down and has gone over the partition (I wasn’t the driver). Subsequently she suffered back injuries and could no longer race. I decided to challenge the JR design by putting this mare in a single bay and with another very quiet horse alongside. I then proceeded to my destination (12 klm) driving steadily on a road that required several sweeping bends to the left and right. During the journey the mare did not move. When we went to unload her she was relaxed and had no evidence of sweat, she also walked off like a normal horse. In a straight side float with two bays, this mare would constantly kick, rock the float forwards and backwards (causing the vehicle to surge) and throw herself against the walls.

I find the JR float to be a pleasure to tow. It is stable on all types of road surfaces. When in transit the float has minimal noise and draws in minimal dust when on gravel roads.

The JR EASY Traveller is a compatible design for horses of all shapes and sizes. The JR float is without a doubt, complemented by its workmanship and the quality of materials used. The JR team were very helpful, patient, open minded, and obviously have pride in their work.

Congratulations John, Barry and staff.

I am very pleased with the JR Easy Traveller I purchased because my Anglo Arab mare who used to scramble now travels well. The JR Easy Traveller motto on the back of the float, "Travelling First Class" is not an exaggeration. Also I had confirmed with a man who repairs floats that the construction was top quality before I purchased. I am pleased with the comfort of having interior lights, a rug rack and a water tank.

We are writing to say how thrilled we are with the JR Easy Traveller. All our problems are over. We have relaxed and confident horses loading and travelling.

Our major decision to purchase the JR was a scrambling and access problem we were having. Our stud situated on the Colo River has a 1.9 km access down a steep mountain and normally we would have to walk our horses half the way due to the steepness. Your float with the adjustable chest and rump bars have solved our problem and we now can drive up and down without any danger to our horses or ourselves.

After losing one of our treasured mares through excessive stress due to scrambling we were not prepared to go through the terrible ordeal again. The splayed sides on your float gives our horses room to comfortably stand and travel as well as being safe in their ‘seat belts’.

Congratulations on the hight standard of manufacture. You have looked into everything to make your float the safest product on the market. Well, it should be, we are carrying a very important cargo.

Best wishes and thank you once again for the great product.

 An excellent product supported by an even better team at Action. The floats are kind to horses, a joy to tow and the suspension system is very smooth. Action stand behind this product with service and after sales support. It is a pleasure to deal with them.

After many years of transporting horses by truck, as we now have only two horses being campaigned, I decided to purchase a two horse float. I looked at many makes and types of floats, especially angle loading as in the past I have had problems with horses scrambling in floats.

It was decided that we look into the JR float and I contacted John Chatterton and arranged to inspect the float John had been using. John was very helpful in his advice and I observed that there was not a mark inside the float which indicated to me that horses must be comfortable travelling in the float.

Since we purchased our JR float (June 96) we have not had any trouble with travelling horses and we have travelled many thousands of kilometres to competitions. A horse we purchased at the beginning of this year had a history of sweating badly due to nerves whilst being transported, even during a short journey of 4 klms. The same horse had completed a round trip of 1000 klms, without any signs of sweating and appeared to be comfortable and relaxed on the float.

I have found the quality of construction and workmanship to be excellent and have had no problems with it. The JR float is also very easy to tow and feels extremely stable on the road. I would recommend JR Floats to any person looking to by a new float.

 I would not buy another brand of float after owning the JR Easy Traveller. I have a horse that scrambles with divider across but since getting the JR he has never scrambled and I can now take another horse in the float with him. Being busy and travelling with show horses with high values, I know they are safe when travelling in the JR and the horses have a comfortable ride.

Virginia Arndt, Q.L.D.

I would like to thank Barry, John and all the guys at JR Easy Traveller Floats. Not only am I extremely happy with my Float, but was very impressed with the after sale service. I was treated as an important customer, even after I purchased the Float and went back to Barry for a few alterations, a true business man. This has been the first Float I have owned and have never floated previously. The float is light and I not only forget it is on the back of the car, but also my horse is in it. Rahja does not move. The best feature on the Float is the extra leg room Rahja has when travelling which keeps him balanced. We both are very happy. Rahja walks on his float voluntary. He feels very safe and so do I. Thank you for a great Float and a load off my mind when floating. I recommend this Float for any type of horse.

I am writing to you to let you know how pleased we are with all aspects of the JR Easy Traveller Horse float. These aspects include not only the safe travelling of our horses but also the quality of manufacture, the towing ease, the engineering quality and the service provided by your company.

Travelling horses to events used to be a traumatic experience. I used to have a sigh of relief once we had arrived at our destinations which always seemed to have bad road conditions. On one trip our Clydesdale scrambled and kicked the side of our old float out.

Now with the JR Easy Traveller Horse float there is no trauma to both driver and horse. Both arrive calm ready for action. The JR Easy Traveller Horse float has solved all our floating problems and we would highly recommend it to anyone who has to transport horses.
