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

  • The trip is local or a show day
  • You hold a full UK car licence

Consider a driver if…

  • Your horse needs extra attention on the way
  • You would rather not drive a horsebox
  • You need a larger box than your licence allows

  • Test the ramp and partitions before loading
  • Bring your photocard licence
  • Allow extra time for loading at both ends
  • Return the box swept out and on time
