Horsebox Hire in East Bergholt for every kind of trip

Hiring a horsebox should be simple. You choose the box and the dates, we confirm availability and the price, and on the day you get a full walkthrough before you drive away.

East Bergholt is about 7.8 miles north-east of Colchester, in Suffolk, within the CO7 postcode district. That keeps journeys short and simple from our Essex base. Nearby, we also serve Capel Saint Mary, Sudbury, Lavenham, Long Melford, Glemsford and Clare.

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, just call us – we are happy to talk it through.

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 are happy reversing a larger vehicle
  • The trip is local or a show day
  • You hold a full UK car licence

Consider a driver if…

  • You need a larger box than your licence allows
  • Your horse needs extra attention on the way
  • It is a long-distance journey

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.

  • Return the box swept out and on time
