Sudbury is about 12 miles north-west of Colchester, in Suffolk, within the CO10 postcode district. That keeps journeys short and simple to and from our Essex base. We also cover Long Melford, Glemsford, Lavenham, Clare, Kedington and Haverhill.

Most 3.5t horseboxes can be driven on an ordinary car licence, while larger boxes need a C1 entitlement – we will check the right box for your licence. Comprehensive insurance is included with every hire.

For independent welfare advice on travelling horses safely, the British Horse Society has helpful resources for owners. And if you are unsure about anything, give us a ring – we are happy to talk it through.

Which box – and do you need a driver?

Most riders self-drive a 3.5t box on a car licence. However, if you would rather not drive, a driven option takes the pressure off.

Self-drive suits you if…

  • You are travelling one or two horses
  • You are happy reversing a larger vehicle
  • The trip is local or a show day

Consider a driver if…

  • You need a larger box than your licence allows
  • It is a long-distance journey
  • Your horse needs extra attention on the way

Pricing: Prices depend on the box and the length of hire – see our services page for current day, weekend, weekly and long-term rates, or call for a quote.

Hire-day checklist for Sudbury riders

A quick routine at collection saves stress on the road and at the show ground.

  • Allow extra time for loading at both ends
  • Bring your photocard licence
  • Know the height and weight of the box before you go
  • Test the ramp and partitions before loading
  • Check tyres, lights and mirrors at handover
  • Pack the passport, haynets and water
