3.5t recommendations please!

[P.forpony]

So the time has come to upgrade the box after a long and full life!

Looking for recommendations for a new 3.5t.
Not interested in fancy bells and whistles or living but absolutely must be well built and safe!
Bonus points if manufacturer will part x the old box ?

For a well built box, you can't go wrong with Marlborough. They don't have the fancy bodywork of the Boss Horseboxes, or the swanky interiors of Bloomfields but they are well built, reasonably priced and have a decent payload.

Racemaster are very strong and well built but not fancy so not hugely expensive but very safe

Ditto.
I have one that they built for me in 2012, its def not fancy but workmanlike and solid. I don't know if he does px tho.

Don't even think about Regent.

I have an Owen's horsebox and it's been a great little box and their customer service is spot on.

Check out Polly at Traveltwo. Got a really solid box from her.

I had a Racemaster, was a very solid and safe box. If you have the budget worth a look at Kevin Parker

Boss bloomfields Kevin Parker and Freddie Gover came out well when I was looking. Not cheap though but I’d pay more for a quality build.

The local chap who does horse transport for a living swears by Marlborough. hes had quite a few now, and they get hammered as you would imagine. But dont think they do PX.
Bloomsfield have a good reputation, and ive seen them advertise peoples boxes to help.

We used Chathams, local to use who have been building for over 30 years. So far im delighted it, but again dont do PX
