Decided I need a 3.5 ton horse box i can drive myself, so annopying not being able to take myself anywhere becuase its so expensive and such a long drive from me to go and collect a box for hire.

Do people loan theirs out on like part loan like we do with horses? perhaps a share?

I've known people to jointly buy & also loan however I've rarely known it to work well. There are always fall outs over someone is monopolising the use of the vehicle, books every weekend & the other doesn't get a look in. Also issues over one party never replacing the fuel or cleans it out etc or leaves the vehicle with a mechanical problem & doesn't mention it.

Not worth the hassle. You could try googling the website that has people's own boxes for hire, can be a bit cheaper than hiring from a company

This ^^ I lent mine to a couple of friends and all I expected in return was it came back clean and a 'bit more fuel' than they started with. They used it for most of the summer as my horse was off work, last time they bought it back it had no fuel in it as "the garage was shut" Sorry, I didn't realise there was only one petrol station in the whole of Milton Keynes. Also smashed a bit of the internal locker and said try would repair it. They haven't and they don't use my lorry anymore.

Me too =(

Actually no wait, I need my own personal ferry too. I live on the Isle of Wight. We are the proud owners of one cross country course and one BSJA arena.

Any trips to the mainland instantly adds about 2hours to the trip and £££'s to the cost
