Your horsebox for Lavenham shows, clinics and vet trips

Hiring a horsebox should be simple. Pick your box and your dates, we confirm availability and the price, and on the day you get a full walkthrough before you set off.

Lavenham is about 15.3 miles north of Colchester, in Suffolk, within the CO10 postcode district. That keeps journeys short and simple from our Essex base. We also cover Long Melford, Glemsford, Sudbury, Clare, Capel Saint Mary and East Bergholt.

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. If you have questions about a journey, 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 hold a full UK car licence
  • You are happy reversing a larger vehicle
  • You are travelling one or two horses

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.

Before you set off: a hire-day checklist

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

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