Having towed a horsebox trailer many years ago and for many miles, don't criticise until you have been in their shoes. One thing you have to remember is that the cargo is up to a ton of live animal, and they DO NOT stand still. Even with a Scott Stabiliser fitted (that's all that was available then) they could make the trailer move around, and cornering is nowhere near as easy as with a caravan. Back in the day we moved on to a 7.5 tonne truck based horsebox within a couple of years.
After towing a caravan I realised its not that easy to pull over and let cars pass. With caravan need lot more time to assess and then pull into a layby, given half laybys here are full of large potholes that rights a lot off.

PS saw good sticker on MH the other day. "If you think we a slow now wait until we get to a hill".
