Burley Horseboxes​

Why is rearward facing horse transportation important?

 

Mainly for the safety and health of the horse. Studies have shown that stress levels are reduced in horses travelling in opposite direction of travel. If the vehicle has to brake hard, the horse's weight is transferred to it's hind legs, which are stronger than its front legs and so helps to keep it stable and less likely to panic. Research also indicates that horses travelling facing backwards show a more stable and consistent heartbeat than those travelling facing forwards.​

​
How long does the conversion take?​

Standard conversions normally take 4-5 weeks to complete,  build times vary throughout the year depending on demand. Please call us to find out our current lead times. More complex conversions will take a little longer.​

Can you convert vans other then the Master and the Movano?​

​
Yes, although we work primarily with the Renault Master and Vauxhall Movano models, conversions are possible with a selection of other makes of van, however most other vans do not lend themselves as well to the conversion, so why not take a look at some of our finished vehicles, before you decide on an alternative base vehicle.
