We spoke to 20 horsebox owners in Hickstead. Examiners were delighted to find that almost all of the vehicles were well maintained, and drivers were following drivers’ hours rules.

You’ll usually need an operator licence if you use horseboxes or a vehicle and horse trailer and you either:
👉 are paid money (directly or indirectly) to transport horses
👉 receive payment (directly or indirectly, for example from prize money) as a result of transporting horses
👉 use the horseboxes for a professional activity

You do not need an operator licence if you’re only transporting horses or goods for non commercial purposes.

For instance 👇

You might not charge somebody directly for transporting a horse but if you charge them for livery or training and offer transport as part of the service then that is considered ‘commercial use’ and you would need an ‘hire and reward’ operator licence if the vehicle or vehicle and trailer combination is over 3,500 kg.
