Horsebox Rescue - Horses on board being towed

Golden star unfortunately a lot of time yes they do!
They can also do like we do with horses and close the road, errect barriers then transfer to new transport

If the vehicle can be towed off the motorway to a secure place of safety and the horses then transferred then in most cases this will be the safest option.

Yes, I had this happen years ago, in a friend's wagon. We broke down a mile short of Sandbach services on the M6. Police escorted the rescue vehicle plus broken down wagon and 2 horses, as we proceeded along the hard shoulder to the services. Further transport was organised from there.

Police said they would have closed the motorway if we had been forced to unload at the roadside.

ETA I'm now with PRP, via my RAC membership.
