Hi Kevin
Just a short note to say how pleased we are with our new horsebox. We were away last week at the Trailblazers national championships finals at Stoneleigh Park and were able to give it the full test, everything worked a treat and was so easy to use, we were so pleased we went with the options of the raised floor, so much more storage space underneath. The large tack locker, that is massive and although we had some reservations at the start about the room it would take up inside the horse area, we really needn't have worried as our gelding is a good 17hh and he had plenty of room and also took to the new lorry as if he'd been in it hundreds of times before, and the shower/toilet facility was brilliant, nothing like having your own shower with loads of hot water, and loo on board. As for the looks of the horsebox well there's only one word for it "stunning" we had quite a few envious looks and it certainly didn't look out of place, not to mention how well it drives, it is a really nice drive, (I must admit i felt very proud driving it home from Preston to MK for the first time). I would also like to thank you for the photos you sent, keeping us updated with the build as it was progressing, and also with the after sales service in particular with the additional locker catches, and the touch up paint after our gelding decided he would like to try and eat the ramp holding bar.
So once again thank you and your team for a great job done, and we would have no hesitation in recommending your company to anyone especially anyone who has a horse that likes eating lorries as they're clearly very tasty!

Kind regards

Hello Kevin,

We are getting our two young horses out and about in our lovely wagon as much as the weather lets us. These were taken a couple of weeks ago at the North East Cheshire Drag Hunt in Dunham Cheshire. I think this one clearly shows the space inside the box as Kristy is 6ft tall and Percy the horse is a good 16.2 Irish Draught X Warmblood. I'll try and get some more over the next few weeks.

Kind regards,
Beverley

I made the journey and am very glad I did!
We have now done over 2,000 miles with our lovely, lovely lorry and am very pleased with it, especially the size! I have at least 1, and usually more, interested people having a look round every time we go out! I have run out of business cards so if you want to send me some more I will happily carry on giving them out - I know we are a long way from you but I made the journey and am very glad I did!

Kind regards

An absolutely stunning vehicle
Just a short note to say thanks to you and your team for all your
efforts to produce an absolutely stunning vehicle - it is certainly a
real 'eye catcher'.

We have made several trips over the last few weekends and the number
of people that have come across to look, enquire and admire our horse
box numbers well into double figures. Of course they have not had the
pleasure of driving what can only be described as a very smooth and
obviously well built vehicle. I have connected the 240v mains supply
and can confirm that all the 'extras' like the microwave, fridge etc.
all work as described and after an initial slow start (more to do with
finger trouble that technical problems) the TV is now receiving all
the popular channels.

I am very happy to say that you and your team have certainly well
exceeded the expectations of Beverley, Kristy and myself - a great job
and our thanks to all concerned.

The two ladies you sent across to view our box duly arrived and seemed
very impressed - and why wouldn't they be?

Regards,

Paul

Our New DAF Horsebox

Hello Kevin,
 
Our 270 mile journey back to South Norfolk took 5 hours. The lorry clock registered at an average of 44 miles an hour and 18 miles to the gallon which is more or less spot on for that sized engine - 150 bhp.  Our journey was as comfortable and airy as any large car and more to the point and fait accompli Bob's back did not ache.  An excellent start to our new experience.  The horse box handles extremely well.
 
We used it for the first time yesterday.  The horse loaded well finding the light airy stalling very comfortable.  The gates two uses are A1, turning the stalling into loose box very roomy and workable. 

Outside, as it was very hot, we used the awning to offer a little shade to both horse and rider whilst changing studs and un-tacking.  The gate acting as a wall, the saddle rack system and tying all worked perfectly as planned.  The hose with gun attachment was magic.  No more washing down with a bucket and sponge!

The living area, its quality build and comfort is second to none and is being admired by all who have visited  and I must say that the total look of the vehicle is turning quite a few heads. 
 
COAT-X
This finish is perhaps the most admired of all.  Studded with sleeper studs and road nails, our very large horse has left no marks which proves the hard finish. Down the ramp there was no slippage between rungs and the horse came down slowly and with ease.  Last night I cleaned up and in two minutes! it was like new.  All I needed was a cloth and bucket of soapy water.  I know it can be power washed but quite honestly if the horses poo is swept up after each journey there is no need.
 
Kevin, you and your team have done the most wonderful job and I will be the first to highly recommend your quality of workmanship.  What I like the most, is the pride and time you have taken in working with us to produce the tool we were looking for.  Thank you.
 
Thank you also for the free breakdown warranty for the next three months which was received on Tuesday.
 
We will keep in touch. 
 
Kindest Regard,
 
Vivien and Bob Jupp.

Hi Kevin,

Just to let you know how delighted we are with the box. She is admired everywhere she goes, and drives like a dream - the ponies like it too!

Will be sleeping 3 kids in her at camp in a couple of weeks, and all are very excited.
Fantastic to have the space and facilities to hand on the field.

Thank you,

Marie

Hi Kevin

Just a note to say thank you very much for such a lovely horse box. I have had lots of comments about how well it's been built and painted.

The COAT-X rubber in the horse area makes it so easy to keep clean and really looks the business!

I had never seen a 'tack holder' like yours before but it is so good, much easier than struggling to get tack out of a locker and it's accessible from the living or the outside!

I would also like to say thank you for being so helpful, and professional in all our dealings with you, I wont hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a lorry.

Kind regards

Caroline Wilkinson

Hi Kevin,

Have just had our first proper trip away in the horsebox which included an overnight stay. The wagon was a dream to drive even though it was very windy for the first part of the journey. Our horse arrived unstressed and comfortable, which of course is the most important thing!

During our stay the living area and tack box worked really well. Everything was just easier to do.

Overall I am more than pleased with the horsebox, your attention to detail and high quality of workmanship really shows. I would certainly recommend you (in fact I already have) to anyone looking for a horsebox or needing repairs.

Regards,
Juliet

Dear Kevin

I am absolutely delighted with my lorry. My horses love travelling in it and everyone who has seen it have been very impressed with its high standard of finish, stability and the amount of thought which has gone into both the living and horse area. I am so glad we travelled to see you and your team as your reassurances of quality and workmanship were as described.

Again many thanks.

Hi kevin,

I just wanted to drop you a line and say a big "Thank you".

You very kindly delivered me my dream horsebox door to door back in July.
I have nothing but praise for you and your team in building the most user
friendly and horse friendly horsebox I have ever come across. It's an
absoulute pleasure to drive. Dino travels so well in it. If it wasn't for
the onboard camera which I mainly have switched to the horse area I
wouldn't know he was onboard!!

There is ample storage both inside and in the outside tack lockers, which
in my experience is a rarity! There are so many little details in the
design that truly make this horsebox an absolute joy to own.

Your after sales care is just as meticulous as your pre sales care and I
can not thank you enough on this particular point as in this day and age
it's not often you get so well looked after once the cash has been handed
over. Nothing has been to much trouble for you and I really appreciate this
aspect of your service.

I haven't had a moments hesitation in recommending you to any one that has
enquired about my stunning horsebox. The only negative that I can think of
is that you didn't supply me with enough of your bussiness cards!! Ive run
out already...

Wishing you all the best,
Kind regards,
Judi. (Essex)

Morning Kevin,

We’re finally in a position to give you some feedback about our lorry! Sorry it has taken so long.

We’ve been using it regularly twice a week for the past month; so we’re now in a better position to let you know what we think!

The box is designed beautifully – you exceeded our expectations for the living area:- it is lovely and light; the windows are great and the finishing to the units and the seating area is superb. I particularly love the windows in the groom’s door and horse area door – they are fantastic and really handy.

The overhead storage area in the living is brilliant; as is the access to the tack locker from inside – we’ve not seen any to rival this!

The external paintwork is superb – a lovely job with a lovely colour – many thanks for the help in finding it!

We’re finally getting our head around the electrics – it’s all new to us and it’s just a case of getting used to all the extra facilities! (the hook-up is proving very useful!).

I hope this may help you with future builds – our lorry has been much admired and is that rare commodity – a true 2-horse box.

We are really pleased with it.

Many thanks for all your help.

Kind regards
Jo & Wendy

Hi Kevin

We got the horsebox home safely... and I really enjoyed driving it.

Thank you and your team for all your effort, it is really fabulous and I'm sure we're going to have some great times in it.

I will highly recommend you to anyone who shows an interest.

Hi Kevin,
Thank you very much for a beautiful horsebox. We are more than pleased with it, its everything we hoped it would be and more. We considered other horsebox builders and we chose the right one with you, we couldn't have wished for anything more than what you built for us. We thank you for your professionalism and the time and patients you gave us when choosing what we wanted.

Mr & Mrs Latner

Hi Kevin - Glad to see that your web site now features "Happy Customers"! We think you deserve this recognition, so would like to say that having had our new horsebox for a couple of months now we are still as thrilled with it today as when we picked it up. The service we received was second to none - nothing seemed to be too much trouble, and work was carried out to schedule, keeping us updated via e-mails & photographs as the work progressed over the 6 week build period. The workmanship was excellent and we have had numerous people admire the box - female interest particularly on the paintwork, possibly because of the silver stars! We would have no hesitation in recommending you and your team, and hope you continue to prosper.

Kind regards
Kevin, Natalie & Lauren Povey.

Hi Kevin,
Just to say that I am delighted with the lorry you had built for me, the build quality is excellent and the whole transaction was dealt with in a professional and prompt way. I am more than happy for you to pass my details on to clients who may want a reference or to see one of your lorries in action. I get lots of compliments on the lorry when I am out competing and if you wanted to send me more business cards, I will keep them in the lorry to hand out to interested parties.

Thanks again.
Karen

Dear Kevin,
Just a note to thank you for our lovely horse box, it has been much admired on our yard, with comments about how it is finished to such a high standard. I think I may start charging for guided tours!

Seriously though, we are delighted with it and can't wait to start going out and about in it. Fittingly, our first competition trip is to Osbaldeston where, last year, we first saw one of your boxes and came to visit shortly after.

We have your cards and will certainly show anyone who may be interested around our box. Thank you again for our lovely box, we are delighted with it.

Best Regards
Richard, Christine, Rosie and Corki, of course.

Hi Kevin,
Just thought we'd let you know that we have just clocked up our 1st 1,000miles - yes 1,000 miles in 7 weeks!

We love the box and it is admired everywhere we go. We slept in it for the 1st time last week at the British Masters Show Jumping Comp at Chester Racecourse and we were parked next to Robert Smith and Ben Maher and your box looked the part parked with the "big boys".

We can't thank you and you staff enough for the excellent and speedy service we received, especially the paintshop boys who did such a good job on our Silver Stars - we've noticed you are using the pictures of the box on your website for the sprayshop it looks so good.

Thanks again.

All the best.
Sharon & Sally
