Why Sawston owners book with us

Booking a horsebox should not be complicated. 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.

Sawston is about 29.5 miles north-west of Chelmsford, in Cambridgeshire, within the CB22 postcode district. That makes it an easy run from our Essex base. We also cover Duxford, Harston, Fulbourn, Linton, Balsham and Meldreth.

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 is a great place to start. 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
  • You would rather not drive a horsebox
  • 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.

Before you set off: a hire-day checklist

Run through these points at handover and you will be ready to go.

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