I owned an Ifor Williams horsebox several years ago in the UK. I often went to shows/outings on my own or with a female friend. I found it very easy to use the horsebox on my own.The ramp was very light for me to lift it up and close, the front bar could be taken down and was attached through the side panel to the back bar so as I and the horse walked in, I could lift the front bar and the back bar would click into place too so did not need someone at the back to close up. The horses loved travelling in the box and it towed very well. I would definitely recommend to anyone in the market for a horsebox!
