Cheval Liberté – Leaders in equestrian
Cheval Liberté are Europe’s leading manufacturer of the premium collection of horse trailers, equestrian stables and barns and have been supporting the UK and Ireland equestrian market for over 20-years.
There are no compromises when it comes to the Cheval Liberté range of horse trailers, that’s why Cheval Liberté has a rich bloodline of pioneering innovation particularly when it comes to comfort, safety, and handling qualities for both driver and horse.
All of the Cheval Liberté horse trailers are manufactured from high quality materials and are finished to the ultimate standards. Extensive use of hard wearing and durable materials such as polyester, aluminium, stainless steel and galvanised steel ensures that their superior aesthetic and strength is retained for many years.
When it comes to the ultimate travel experience for both horse and driver, look no further than the Cheval Liberté range of horse trailers, which now come with the Pullman 2 Performance Suspension System installed as standard for optimal performance.
The Pullman 2 Performance Suspension System – the differentiator
Developed by the Cheval Liberté design teams, the lowered chassis has a centre of gravity that sits as close as possible to the road for optimum balance control of your trailer. The Pullman 2 Suspension System provides the perfect road-handling control when towing a trailer on our roads today.
Closer to car technology, the Pullman 2 Suspension System consists of 4 galvanised steel independent articulated arms with 4 torsion springs and 4 dampers. This technology ensures unbeatable road-holding capacities. The Cheval Liberté factory is equipped with the latest generation laser tooling, enabling the entire loading sill of the trailer to be lowered.
Putting safety first for both horse & driver
All Cheval Liberté trailers have GB and European approval ensuring they meet the highest safety standards, and all of the trailers have a 2-year warranty and a 5-year guarantee for the aluminium floors, ramps and sides which come as standard throughout the range.

Maintaining your Cheval Liberté horse trailer is essential for ensuring the safety and comfort of your equine companions, as well as preserving the trailer's longevity and value. Regular cleaning prevents the build-up of dirt and other debris that can lead to corrosion and structural damage over time. Additionally, proper maintenance helps extend the lifespan of premium materials, such as aluminium flooring and rubber mats, keeping your trailer in top condition for years to come. One of the most effective ways to deep clean your Cheval Liberté horse trailer is by using a high-pressure washer, such as the Nilfisk Premium 180, which offers powerful performance and efficiency.
Cheval Liberté and Nilfisk are collaborating in 2025 to provide the best possible support and advice for looking after your new Cheval Liberté horse trailer. During this year’s Badminton Horse Trials, anyone purchasing a new Cheval Liberté herringbone horse trailer will also receive a new Nilfisk Premium 180 High-Pressure Washer.
Understanding the Nilfisk Premium 180 High-Pressure Washer
The Nilfisk Premium 180-10 UK is designed for demanding cleaning tasks, offering a maximum pressure of 180 bar. It features a durable metal pump with an induction motor and an alloy cylinder head, ensuring longevity and reliable performance. The jet washer can clean surfaces up to 60 m² per hour, making it ideal for large cleaning projects. Its 10-meter Superflex high-pressure hose provides excellent mobility, allowing you to reach all areas of your horse trailer with ease. Additional features include an in-built detergent dosage function with regulation, a long lance, and a telescopic handle for greater convenience.
Top tips - Taking care of your Cheval Liberté Horse Trailer.
Steps for cleaning your horse trailer with a High-Pressure Washer
1. Preparation
Before cleaning, remove all equipment, bedding, and manure from the trailer. Then, inspect the trailer for any loose fittings, damaged areas, or exposed electrical components that could be affected by water.
2. Initial Rinse
Using the Nilfisk Premium 180, perform an initial rinse to remove loose dirt and debris. Start from the top and work your way down to prevent dirty water from running over cleaned areas.
3. Apply Detergent
Utilise the pressure washer’s in-built detergent dosage function to apply an appropriate cleaning solution. Ensure that the detergent is suitable for use on aluminium and rubber surfaces to prevent damage.
4. Scrubbing with the Brush
Attach the Nilfisk Auto Brush to the pressure washer. Use the brush to gently scrub the surfaces, especially on large, curved, or delicate areas, to effectively remove stubborn grime without causing scratches. The in-built squeegee helps remove excess water, leaving surfaces cleaner and streak-free.
5. Final Rinse
After scrubbing, rinse the trailer thoroughly with the high-pressure washer to remove all detergent residues. Ensure that no soap remains, as it can create slippery surfaces and pose a safety risk to the horses.
6. Drying
Allow the trailer to dry completely before loading horses or equipment back in. Open all windows and vents to facilitate air circulation and speed up the drying process.
Maintenance tips to extend the life of your Cheval Liberté Horse Trailer
Regular Cleaning: Establish a routine cleaning schedule based on the frequency of use. Regular cleaning prevents the buildup of corrosive materials and maintains a hygienic environment for your horses.
Inspect Seals and Joints: Regularly check seals, joints, and welds for signs of wear or damage. Addressing minor issues early can prevent costly repairs in the future.
Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply appropriate lubricants to hinges, locks, and other moving parts to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
· Check the Floor: Inspect the floor regularly for signs of wear or damage. Ensure that the rubber mat remains securely glued to prevent moisture from seeping underneath.
· Store Properly: When not in use, store your Cheval Liberté horse trailer in a covered area to protect it from the elements. This helps prevent premature wear and extends the lifespan of the trailer’s materials. Customers can also purchase a Cheval Liberté trailer cover which are now also available.
Safety considerations when using a High-Pressure Washer
Wear Protective Gear: Always wear safety goggles, gloves, and non-slip footwear to protect yourself from high-pressure water jets and debris.
Maintain a Safe Distance: Keep the nozzle at a safe distance from the surface to prevent damage, especially when cleaning delicate areas or seals.
Avoid Electrical Components: Be cautious around electrical components or connections. Avoid directing high-pressure water at these areas to prevent electrical hazards.
Ensure Proper Ventilation: When using detergents or cleaning agents, ensure adequate airflow to prevent the buildup of harmful fumes.
Regular cleaning of your Cheval Liberté horse trailer is essential for ensuring the safety and comfort of your horses, as well as preserving the trailer’s durability and value. Using a Nilfisk high-pressure washer with the Auto Brush attachment makes the process faster, more effective, and thorough.
By following these cleaning and maintenance steps, you can extend the lifespan of your Cheval Liberté trailer and keep it in top condition for years to come.
