Many horsebox owners do not realise that their vehicle may be of a size that brings it under special regulations relating to road transport. When choosing and using these vehicles it is important to understand how road transport law applies to them and what the rules entail.

The Freight Transport Association (FTA) has produced an essential guide for anyone who is involved in the transport of horses by road. The guide was originally presented to Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal in recognition of her keen interest in equestrianism and equine welfare, when she opened FTA’s new office in Leeds earlier in the year. FTA is now making the guide available to everyone involved in the transport of horses so that they can ensure their operation is both safe and legal.

Subjects covered in the comprehensive guide include:

• Driving licences
• Operator licensing
• Towing trailers
• Road traffic rules
• Animal welfare in transit
