Advice on 3.5 horsebox

[Frankie doodle dandy]

Hi, Can anyone advise me on a 3.5 ton horsebox, I've done a lot of research and spoken to lots of people (fantastic advice from polly at travelstwohorses) but I'm not sure if what I'm looking for is out there! Basically I want something like a Marlborough Hunter as the measurements are great, plus the partition is fully adjustable and the build quality is good but I don't like the canopy top and would rather have top barn doors..... Does anyone know of a similar horsebox (measurments have to be horse area length at least 7ft, height 7ft 6, width at least 6ft 9)? Got about £15K for right box.... This is my first forum post!!

How many horses are you intending tp put in it ?

Looking for something to carry either one pony and one horse or one pony and his 4 wheeler cart, which is why the measurements have to be right. I'm an older person(!!) so can drive a 3.9 ton plus but don't want a 7.5 ton as downsizing.

Try Racemaster? Not too far from Swindon

Good luck

Thank you The Fuzzy Furry, unfortunately Racemaster do a single door top opening, Paul who manufactures them was very helpful but not willing to change this..... thanks tho

When I had mine built some 5years or so ago,I chose this builder.
He built to my exact spec,at a fair price,and the build quality was as good as many 'known' makes.

Chris is the owner.
Sadly,had to reluctantly sell it as I needed a 7.5t,but my mechanic told me I was mad as the chassis was in such excellent condition too!

Incidentally, my box is the white one on his site. If you go to my profile and albums,it is the one sprayed yellow, which is my fave colour,and we never had any problems finding it in the lorry park!

I also have a Bloomfields and I love it the quality is fantastic, definately one of the best on the market - I think they are better than Alexanders for quality and much cheaper, and the barn doors are much safer than the lift up ones! Defo recommend them
