Horsebox Hire in Welwyn Garden City 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 at collection you get a proper handover and safety check before you drive away.

Welwyn Garden City is about 29.2 miles west of Chelmsford, in Hertfordshire, within the AL8 postcode district. That makes it an easy run to and from our Essex base. In addition, we work with owners in Welwyn, Hatfield, Codicote, Knebworth, Hertford and Watton at Stone.

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. And if you are unsure about anything, just call us – we are happy to talk it through.

Self-drive or driven? Choosing in Welwyn Garden City

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

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.

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