There are a number of experienced, dedicated horse transporters in Wales with experience of handling and travelling horses throughout the United Kingdom and overseas. These businesses offer equine transport to horse shows locally and further afield, to pick up and deliver horses for sale, to the vet, or to take your horse on holiday. Some will also offer a pre-travelling service for young or inexperienced horses, taking the time to teach your horse to load without problems, and to travel short distances happily.

A professional horse transporter should hold either a Department for Transport Open Operator's Licence, or a Restricted Operator's Licence. You should also check that they have appropriate insurance. There are other regulations they need to follow regarding horse boxes and horse transport, including disinfecting the lorry, hours driven, and the length of the horse's journey. You will find reputable horse transporters in Wales listed with Equestrian Wales.

There is also the option of hiring a self-drive horse box in Wales. It is important to check your eligibility to drive the lorry you wish to hire. If you passed your driving test before 1997, you can normally drive lorries up to 7.5 tonnes, or a car pulling a trailer. If you took your test after January 1997, you are only allowed to drive lorries up to 3.5 tonnes. You would also have to take a new test if you wish to tow a trailer.

Most self-drive companies will only hire to people aged between 25 - 75.

If you are towing a horse and trailer, make sure the laden trailer (trailer plus horse) only weighs 85% of the weight of the car used to tow it.

Equestrian Wales also features a number of horsebox and horse lorry manufacturers in Wales, providing coachbuilt horseboxes  and horse trailers at realistic prices, and offering repairs or alterations to existing horse boxes.

If you are looking for a livery yard in Wales for your new horse, there are many yards in all regions of Wales offering full, part or DIY livery. Full livery is where the yard staff care for your horse fully, feeding, mucking out, turning out and exercising him. DIY livery is where you look after your own horse fully, and are totally responsible for the feeding, mucking out, and all other tasks associated with caring for a horse. Part livery is where part of the work is done by you, and part by yard staff. DIY livery is the cheapest, full livery the most expensive, and part livery somewhere in between, depending on how the work is divided. Working livery is where your horse is used by the riding school he is kept at for riding lessons of various types and for various hours, in return for a reduced livery rate. You are normally able to make full use of riding school facilities outside lesson times.

The cost of livery also depends on the facilities offered by the yard. Some yards have large indoor, or floodlit outdoor arenas, have staff on site 24 hours a day, and can offer the use of show jumps, cross country courses and other facilities. Others are more basic, simply offering comfortable stables and fenced fields for grazing. Still others are specialist competition yards, holding their own affiliated and unaffiliated competitions regularly, and are perfect for those who wish to compete their horses. Find the best livery yards in Wales on Equestrian Wales.

You will also find competition yards in Wales listed on these pages, together with their web links providing dates and venues of competitions. Many of these competition yards run qualifiers either for UK wide shows, or qualifiers for their own competition series, culminating in an awards ceremony at the end of the season.

You will find them all on Equestrian Wales.

There are a number of tourist farms in Wales offering horse-drawn transport of some sort, some specialising in horse-drawn holidays in Wales, others offering carriage rides as an added extra.
