About us...
We are a family run business based near Malton, North Yorkshire who have owned and shown horses for over 20 years.
Malton Horsebox Hire was set up after we had lots of trouble finding a way of getting to events and wanted to help others get around and enjoy being with their horses as much as possible.
​
We offer a wide range of hire options so if there is something that you cannot see on our website please do not hesitate to contact us.
​
Hiring our horsebox is a great way to get out and about to beach rides, shows or even a trip to the vet; our 300 mile per day limit easily allows you to get to events in York, Harrogate and Leeds.
