Small van horse boxes are great if you use them regularly.
Most seem to be parked up for months on end at livery yards and get taken to a show once in a blue moon by pony patters who suddenly remember they have a horse! 🤣🤣
Be careful of DIY conversions like the one Peekay has linked too, some of them are pretty heavy and only have payload for one horse
Fair point. I didn't look at the listing in too much detail before sharing, but I still stand by my point that finding a good 3.5t horsebox is a alternative worth considering instead of a new car + trailer for occasional horsey use if you have no other need for a large second car.
I agree Peekay, sorry wasn't trying to pick holes just a general warning for conversions from luton vans (and those Sainsburys/Ocado style vans don't have the headroom for more than a pony)
Nissan terrano? Or they a bit long in the tooth for you.. Pretty bullet proof and are a proper 4x4.
Sanyong rexton? Merc engine from memory.
Horse boxes are normally rusty bags of crap or fortunes.
Never seen middle ground ones. Plus 3.5t and your not carrying much and your at the limit.
£150k on an Oakley with granit worktops and a shower for the horses. You just aren’t taking it seriously otherwise.
How far have you got to tow it?
Depends on the event - last half term we did anything from 30 mile round trips to 120 miles. As she gets her horse up to speed (we’ve recently taken it on a full loan and it’s not fully fit just yet) I am sure she’ll want to do more and travel further for more experiences.
