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…

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

Consider a driver if…

  • Your horse needs extra attention on the way
  • 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.
