Horse Trailer Hire Carries Safety and Insurance Complexity
A horse trailer can only be towed by a vehicle with the correct towing capacity and a driver with the right licence category. Without verifying both before hire, your insurance is void and the liability for any accident falls entirely on you. Manual checks get missed in busy periods — and the consequences are severe.
Safe, Documented Horse Trailer Hire Every Time
Towing Vehicle Verification
Record customer towing vehicle make, model, towing capacity, and VIN before any trailer is released.
Licence Category Checking
Log driver licence category and B+E entitlement — hire is blocked if the customer lacks the required entitlement for the trailer weight.
Trailer Service and Safety Records
Store brake, wheel, and lighting check records per trailer with alerts for overdue inspections.
Loading Notes and Instructions
Attach a safe loading guide per trailer type to every hire confirmation — reduces misuse and protects animals.
