Horsebox Hire in Clare for every kind of trip

Booking a horsebox should not be complicated. 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.

Clare is about 18.3 miles north-west of Colchester, in Suffolk, within the CO10 postcode district. That makes it an easy run to and from our Essex base. In addition, we work with owners in Glemsford, Kedington, Long Melford, Haverhill, Sudbury and Lavenham.

Most 3.5t horseboxes can be driven on an ordinary 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.

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, just call us – 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 hold a full UK car licence
  • You are travelling one or two horses
  • The trip is local or a show day

Consider a driver if…

  • It is a long-distance journey
  • You would rather not drive a horsebox
  • 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.

Hire-day checklist for Clare riders

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

  • Know the height and weight of the box before you go
  • Allow extra time for loading at both ends
  • Return the box swept out and on time
  • Check tyres, lights and mirrors at handover
  • Pack the passport, haynets and water
  • Test the ramp and partitions before loading
