The hardest thing about driving a trailer for most people (including Horse Hero's Fiona Price) is reversing! Fiona, who hasn't trailed for longer than she cares to remember, took up the challenge to demonstrate the art. First, however, she had to remember how to do it! The two woman crew (including Lucy Graham behind the camera) finally got their heads around the task and so Fiona set herself a 'foolhardy' challenge to prove her mastery! What a shame someone couldn't have filmed the two of them at work. It was entertaining!

aliwade 13 Feb 2011 ps I have a Subaru as well - the same model as in the film - and I wouldn't want to tow with anything else. Ali xx

aliwade 13 Feb 2011 Really helpful. You explain everything very simply, and it really is that easy! Men just love to pretend it is complicated!! I am fine towing, as long as I am by myself or with a female friend. If hubby is around, then I leave him to it or we would be divorced. Ali xx

Silver Snaffles 9 Nov 2009 Well done. Nice to see you using a Subaru since I have bought one after using Nissan Pickups for towing for the last twenty years, as becoming a grandmother soon I decided a pickup was not the best Granny car!!!

Coffeelover 15 May 2009 Up until watching this video I had never attempted to reverse my trailer and happily left it to my husband. However the day after watching your video I successfully practised reversing in all directions for 20 minutes at my yard finishing with a trailer perfectly parked. When my husband came home from work he was marched immediately down to the yard to see my handiwork! What a great idea your website is, I am finding it incredibly informative. Keep up the good work.

bluesnow 10 May 2009 I recently went to my first show towing a trailer, all went well until I went down a track with boxes parked either side thinking there was a space at the end to turn into the next line of boxes to park. When I got to the end someone had parked in the space to turn so I had to reverse the entire length of the field and was jacknifing all the way in front of everyone, so embarrasing!
