Horsebox Dog Gates

Dogs in Horseboxes? Making sure they are secure and safe when you are travelling is often overlooked.

Horsebox Load Height

Horsebox load height is basically the distance from the road to the horse area floor.

The greater this distance, the worse the ride characteristics will be for the driver and horses.

Horsebox Durability

For JTH, ‘Durability’ refers to the ability of a physical product or material to remain functional and maintain its performance over an extended period.

Horsebox Strength

Designing safe horseboxes with secure, safe horse areas, involves much more than you might think!

Horsebox Ramp Grip

When considering the safety of equine transport, the provision of adequate grip for loading, unloading, and transporting horses stands paramount on any safety agenda.

Horse Heat and Ventilation

Without question, there are plenty of research articles on the effects of prolonged exposure to high temperatures and how it causes heat stress, heat stroke, dehydration, muscle spasms, and colic in horses. Effective heat removal and adequate ventilation are essential components of any horse facility.

Horse Transport Stress

As we continue to prioritise safety, quality, and durability, the reduction of transport stress has been one of our long-term goals.

Problematic Horses

Part of our approach to horsebox design centres on anticipating and preventing potential issues rather than grappling with serious incidents after they’ve occurred.

Horses and Vibration

Horses, as prey animals, have evolved remarkable sensory adaptations that are crucial for their survival.
Understanding how horses perceive sound is crucial for designing horseboxes that meet their unique needs. As prey animals, horses possess an extraordinary sense of hearing that allows them to detect sounds across a broader frequency range—from 14 Hz to 33 kHz. This sharp sense of hearing is important for their survival, causing them to instinctively flee from unfamiliar noises. So, designing a horsebox that reduces stress and improves well-being means understanding how sound affects horses.For this article, we are focusing on horses vision.

Their large eyes provide a wide field of vision, enabling them to detect movement and potential threats from various angles.

However, this keen sensitivity can also make them easily startled by sudden movements or unfamiliar objects.But are you really ready to go?
