Self-drive or driven? Choosing in Welwyn

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 are happy reversing a larger vehicle

Consider a driver if…

  • Your horse needs extra attention on the way
  • It is a long-distance journey
  • 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.

  • Pack the passport, haynets and water
  • Bring your photocard licence
  • Return the box swept out and on time
  • Plan a route that avoids low bridges and narrow lanes
