Does anyone know.....

Does anyone know what type of horsebox insurance I'd need if I were to set up a business transporting horses? I wouldn't be hiring the box out... I'd be driving!
Thanks in advance for any replies

Good post I need to know for the same reason.

commercial i believe. i'm 99% sure you'd need an Operator's Licence too, even if just driving a small (non-HGV) lorry.

a commercial insurance policy, public liability policy, 3 c policy, operators license, SVS type 1 or 2, and ACET. you possibly may need planning permission to park your commercial vehicle too! your lorry will also have to be serviced/checked every six weeks. by law!! loads of paperwork too, and journey logs for every trip.

All of the above and make sure you have "goods in transit" or whatever its called these days which is high enough to cover the value of the horses you are transporting.
