1999 4 Star 2 Horse Reverse Angle Load Float

Reverse angle load is the interesting part. Instead of facing the horses back towards the tow vehicle at an angle, this 4-Star turns them the other way, so they travel facing the rear on the diagonal. A lot of horses balance better that way, and unloading brings them out head-first rather than backing down blind.

Unusually for a two horse float, it is also set up as a float-and-stock combination, so the rear can be run open for cattle, calves or loose stock when it is not carrying horses.

How a reverse angle load rides

On braking, a rear-facing horse leans into its hindquarters rather than propping on its front legs. Many float owners report calmer travellers and less scrambling. It is not universal — some horses simply prefer facing forward — so if you can, try before you commit.

The stock combination side

Being able to drop the internal fittings and run the back as a stock crate suits agistment moves, small-property owners and anyone who occasionally needs to shift cattle or sheep as well as horses. It is a genuinely useful second function that a dedicated float will not give you.
