Glemsford is about 17.2 miles north-west of Colchester, in Suffolk, within the CO10 postcode district. That makes it an easy run to and from our Essex base. Nearby, we also serve Long Melford, Clare, Sudbury, Lavenham, 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.

If you want independent guidance on travelling horses safely, the British Horse Society is a great place to start. And if you are unsure about anything, just call us – we are always happy to help.

Which box – and do you need a driver?

The right choice depends on your licence, your confidence and how far you are going.

Self-drive suits you if…

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

Consider a driver if…

  • You need a larger box than your licence allows
  • You would rather not drive a horsebox
  • It is a long-distance journey

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.
