Your horsebox for Reed shows, clinics and vet trips

Hiring a horsebox should be simple. Pick your box and your dates, we confirm the price and availability, and at collection you get a proper handover and safety check before you set off.

Reed is about 28.1 miles north-west of Chelmsford, in Hertfordshire, within the SG8 postcode district. That makes it an easy run to and from our Essex base. In addition, we work with owners in Royston, Buntingford, Bassingbourn, Melbourn, Meldreth and Great Munden.

A 3.5t box can usually be driven on a standard car licence, while larger boxes need a C1 entitlement – we help you pick 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.

Self-drive or driven? Choosing in Reed

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

Self-drive suits you if…

  • You are happy reversing a larger vehicle
  • You are travelling one or two horses
  • You hold a full UK car licence

Consider a driver if…

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

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.

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

  • Test the ramp and partitions before loading
  • Allow extra time for loading at both ends
  • Plan a route that avoids low bridges and narrow lanes
  • Know the height and weight of the box before you go
  • Return the box swept out and on time
  • Bring your photocard licence
