When it comes to transporting your beloved horses, a bespoke horsebox offers the highest level of comfort, safety, and functionality. However, investing in such a vehicle is a significant decision that requires careful planning. At Cooke Coachbuilders we have a range of horseboxes made to suit every need and budget. Below are some key factors to consider before taking the plunge.

Your Horses’ Needs: The most crucial aspect of a bespoke horsebox is its ability to cater to your horses’ specific requirements. Think about their size, temperament, and any special needs they may have. Factors such as the number of horses you need to transport and their age will influence the design of your box.

Your Budget: Bespoke horseboxes can vary widely in price, depending on the materials used, features included, and the level of customisation. It’s essential to set a realistic budget before exploring options. Remember to factor in ongoing maintenance costs, insurance premiums, and potential upgrades in the future.

Functionality and Features: Consider the specific features you need in your horsebox. Do you require a living area for long journeys? Are you planning to use it for competitions? Think about factors like the number of stalls, the size of the living area, and any additional features such as a kitchen, bathroom, or generator.

Safety and Security: Safety is one of the most important factors when transporting horses. Ensure your bespoke horsebox meets all relevant safety standards and regulations. Look for features such as secure doors and adequate ventilation.

Customisation Options: The beauty of a bespoke horsebox is the ability to customise it to your exact specifications. Explore the various customisation options available here at Cooke Coachbuilders, such as interior design, exterior finishes, and equipment. Consider your personal preferences and the overall aesthetic you desire for your horsebox.

Transporting and Parking: Think about the logistics of owning and transporting your bespoke horsebox. Consider its size and weight, as well as the availability of parking spaces and suitable roads for travel. If you live in a rural area, ensure your horsebox can handle off-road conditions. Also, consider the licence requirements for driving larger horseboxes if this is something you have not done previously.
