"I've had two horseboxes from Shaun Bettaney, both new builds . I ran the first one for five years and never had any problems with Shaun's workmanship. Our family of three used it all the time with two 16hh warm bloods. People at shows often asked who built it. I've had the second box for about two years now and it's to the same high standard as the first" . A new build horse box is built with either a brand new or second hand chassis. The body, however, is brand new from the chassis upwards. We use two full GRP panels on top of galvanised runners and bearers. We can construct your new build horse box within good time scales and we are always available for reviews throughout the build for any changes you need to make. Your horsebox can be built to carry up to seven horses. Quotes are provided free of charge and we can source a new or used chassis at trade prices. Your horsebox will be built at our workshops in Staffordshire
