Give Your Horse the Smooth Ride It Deserves
Transporting horses isn’t just about getting from A to B—it’s about ensuring your horse arrives calm, comfortable, and ready to perform. The OzGlide Hitch is an innovative towing system designed to significantly reduce the harsh jolts, bumps, and shock loads that are transferred between your tow vehicle and horse float.
Whether you’re heading to a competition, pony club, agistment, or the vet, an OzGlide Hitch helps create a more stable and enjoyable journey for both horse and driver.
Benefits for Your Horse
Horses constantly adjust their balance while travelling. Every sudden acceleration, braking movement, pothole, or uneven road surface requires your horse to compensate, leading to fatigue and stress.
The OzGlide Hitch helps by:
- Reducing harsh jolts and shock loads transferred into the horse float.
- Providing a smoother, more controlled ride over rough roads.
- Helping horses maintain their balance with less effort.
- Reducing travel-related stress and fatigue.
- Encouraging horses to arrive calmer and more relaxed.
- Improving comfort during longer journeys.
- Helping reduce unnecessary movement within the float.
A calmer horse often means an easier unloading experience and a horse that’s better prepared for competition, training, or veterinary appointments.
Benefits for Your Tow Vehicle
Traditional tow hitches transfer every bump, braking force, and acceleration directly between the vehicle and trailer. Over time this constant impact can be uncomfortable for the driver and place unnecessary stress on towing components.
The OzGlide Hitch helps by:
- Smoothing out the towing experience.
- Reducing the “push-pull” effect commonly felt when towing horse floats.
- Minimising shock loading between the vehicle and trailer.
- Providing improved towing comfort for both driver and passengers.
- Helping reduce driver fatigue on long trips.
- Creating a more stable and controlled towing experience.
- Reducing wear on the towbar, hitch assembly, and other towing components by cushioning sudden impact loads.
Improved Safety and Confidence
When towing valuable horses, confidence matters. The OzGlide Hitch is engineered to improve towing stability and provide a more predictable towing experience, helping drivers feel more in control across varying road conditions.
Whether travelling on highways, country roads, or uneven rural properties, the OzGlide Hitch works to absorb much of the harsh movement that would otherwise be transferred directly through the towing combination.
