I think I need a sense check from you lovely lot. Am I absolutely bonkers for thinking I can find a 3.5t horsebox suitable for carrying one 16hh WB for £10k?
I've only been dabbling with the idea for about a week and already it seems like an absolute minefield so any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly received! I'm not after something shiny and new, just a box that can reliably get us from A to B (and back again!). I'm not convinced by the van conversions as M is a great fan of doing giraffe impressions and I just don't think there'd be the space for him in one of those but other than that I'm not against having something older or higher mileage if it means it's within budget. OH is quite handy when it comes to cars, so I don't mind something that needs a bit of TLC either.
I suspect in reality I really need to save a bit more and up the budget, but I'm impatient and whilst I have a lovely trainer and friends who are all happy to cart us about I hate asking for favours all the time and feeling like a bit of a burden so really would like to get wheels of our own sooner rather than later.
J.M.S Horseboxes keep popping up in my searches (and seem within budget) but I'm assuming they're cutting corners along the way to be that much cheaper than everyone else?
