Transporting your horse
Horses often need to be transported on public highways, in either a horse box or a trailer. Whether you are transporting a horse for veterinary care, to an event or elsewhere, it’s important to make sure you and the horse are safe at all times.
Incident reporting
We urge all riders and carriage drivers to report every incident they are involved in, regardless of severity, via our horse incidents reporting hub online or our Horse i app. This allows us to collate statistics on incidents across the UK, to help better understand the rate of equine-related incidents and, ultimately, to use this data to lobby for change in safety laws.
