The Benefits of Buying a Horse Lorry Instead of Paying Someone To Transport Your Horse
Would you hire someone else to take your children all the way across the country while you were in another vehicle? You care for your horse too, so why take any less care with their well being? Being able to sleep peacefully knowing your horse arrived completely unscathed is only one of the benefits of owning your own horse lorry.
When you hire out your horse’s travel arrangements you put their life-past, present and future-in someone else’s hands. Hired horse lorry drivers may know horses, but they don’t know your horse the way you do. No one is going totake care of them the way that you will, and more importantly, no one is going to know how to handle them in case of an emergency the way you do.

Your horse is safer riding with you than with someone you just met. What if the horse lorry was ran off the road, and your horse was injured? Would you trust your horse’s treatment to a stranger? Would you be comfortable letting someone else euthanize your horse if they couldn’t be helped?
Of course not. No horseman would. The desire to stay close to their horse during travel for just that reason is why so many horse owners decide to buy their own horse lorry.

The lorry should be large enough to allow him to brace his legs and swing his neck to keep from being knocked into the walls. There should still be limitations to his ability to turn and kick. If your horse manages to wrap himself in his bindings or kick the doors with enough force to overpower the latch, you could have a very, very big problem!
