My husband is Dan Twitchen of Principle Horseboxes and we are carriage drivers ourselves. He has been building easy up portable stabling for the past 10 years. The more basic ones start from approx 100 kilos upwards depending on what length and requirements you need. Please have a look at our website or feel free to give us a call to discuss your needs.

As you say how long is a piece of string ! I use a canvas sheet - 4 metal poles - 6 ratchet straps - and tie them to the wagon. I can have up to 4 horses tied under 1 sheet -although I have to say that they are tied up at home like this. The advantages are 1) the equipment is easy to store, 2) its very light 3) easy to erect and take down. As long as you have enought pitch on your roof they remain dry. Hope this helps if you want some pictures look' on 'In Harnss' issue about 3 months ago. Hope this helps. | ||

Can anyone give a rough idea of how much weight portable stabling will add to a horsebox or carriage trailer? This is, I suspect, a bit of a 'how long is piece of string' question, so maybe your own examples - of whatever size or type - could give us a rough idea. Thanks |
