Rice – other models: the collective page of horse trailers, from Beaufort and Badminton through Eventer and Farmers Hunt to Showman, unladen weights from 595 to 1,200 kg, gross weights from 1,200 to 3,390 kg
This page gathers the Rice trailers the register could not assign to a named range. The model names – Beaufort, Beaufort Double, Beaufort Treble, Badminton, Concours, Eventer, Farmers Hunt, Showman – belong to the typical vocabulary of British horse trailers and denote the number of stalls (Double, Treble) and equipment lines (Popular, Mk II); two entries carry the Dutch designations 'Gesloten Paardenwagen' and 'Gesloten Aanhangwagen', closed horse trailer and closed trailer.

The register lists here 33 versions with unladen weights from 595 to 1,200 kg, gross weights from 1,200 to 3,390 kg and widths from 1,550 to 2,320 mm.
With gross weights up to just under 3.4 tonnes, the range runs from the simple two-stall trailer to the larger Showman exhibition trailer for competition and breeding yards, typical of a maker specialising in horse transport.
When buying a used horse trailer, check above all the condition of the floor (rot-through and timber decay under the rubber mat), partitions and stall padding, axles, brakes and overrun brake, and stall ventilation; on the Beaufort and Farmers Hunt types, also check the condition of the rear ramp and its fittings, plus the tie rings and breast bar for wear and secure mounting.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
