"Never use the ramp to load horses into the trailer!"

This is what I would hear every time I needed to load a horse into the one-horse trailer belonging to my father, an experienced horseman based in Saumur, France.

Time wasted removing the ramp and putting it back on was largely compensated by how quickly horses could be loaded without it. Only step needed to be taken to turn the ramp into a door :

FAUTRAS trailers were born.

"From a passion for horses to their transport" 

Born into a family of horse lovers (5 generations), Jean-Luc Fautras is aboce all a horse rider and user of the brand that bears his name.

In 1992, after importing British trailers for ten years which no longer satisfied him and his wife, Marie-Noëlle De Vincenzi, as daily users, he decided to put his ideas into practice : the FAUTRAS brand was born.

From its creation, they imagined innovative and efficient designs as regards ease-of-usen comfort and safety.

In 2011, Jean-Léonard Fautras (the son) took over the managment of FAUTRAS.

"A transmitted passion"

I am lucky to have my family's trust. With my father in charge of designing and my mother in charge in buisness development, we form a good team and use our complementarity as an asset.
