Leyland Daf 45 150
Very reliable, great motorway lorry - quite good fuel consumption too
Very quick - carries 3 horses no trouble (better than the 130s which struggle on hills)
wouldn't consider any other

I have an Iveco Tector, its very powerful and you cant tell you have horses in the back even on steep hills. Gearbox can be a bit knotchy but once you get used to driving them its fine. Been told by one mechanic, they are proper workhorses, cheap to repair and maintain but not as good as Dafs. Another wagon mechanic, said they are all the same and each have there problems.
I did drive a MAN and it was like driving a big car ... lovely.

Eurocargo, it's my 3rd Ford Cargo on the trot and is pretty good to drive, gearbox can be a bit knacky though.

Iveco Turbodaily, love it. Like the others said gearbox took a bit of getting used to, but awesome to drive and no horse has travelled badly in it yet!

Iveco. Drives well although gears can be temperamental but think it's more a case of getting used to it! Still, has a good lot of power and has done very well so far.

Iveco Tector, 02 plate. It is amazing to drive it eats the hills for breakfast even with a full load.

LDV with an Ivor Williams body, before that an elderly Leyland Terrier which carried four. That was the lucky lorry, I cried when it went for scrap.

Marlborough Hunter on a Vauxhall Movano chassis ~ absolutely love it ! However, if you have a large horse, it only carries one !! (unless you upgrade to 3.9 t which is easy enough). Drives like a car and really easy to go out by yourself.

DAF 45 130 turbo. Carries two large horses easily and drives really easily. Much prefer it to my previous Cargos.

Bedford TL (AWD) and i love it
first horse lorry i have ever driven and then drove 3 hours each way down the motorway to pick up new horse was such an easy drive.
Selling it now though due to wanting bigger living and i'm gutted
but have to keep thinking onwards and upwards, but will always miss my Bessie!

I have a Renault Master 3.5 Marlborough sport and it is lovely to drive, driven from Guernsey to the UK 3 times now (Grantham x 1 and Peterborough x 2) and it has been ace.
My only gripe would be that I wished i knew i was going to get a bigger horse cause originally only bought it for the shetties. If I had known I would have gone for their Hunter or Cob version.

7.5 tonne 04 Reg DAF LF 45/150. Easier to drive than a car! Its a new cab and chassis on my old box which I have stripped and refurbished from scratch.

Another cargo, fantastic down the motorway and up the hills. As everyone says the gearboxes can take a bit of getting used to and I need two hands to get it into reverse but fabby for long journeys.
