C – Full Horsebox Licence (Over 7.5T)
This is the top-tier horsebox licence, letting you drive large commercial horseboxes over 7.5 tonnes. Ideal if you want to carry multiple horses or transport for clients professionally.

C1 – Medium Horsebox Licence (3.5–7.5T)

Why Choose Horsebox Training?
With hundreds or thousands of horseboxes on UK roads at any given time, towing horseboxes can be a great way to help companies and individuals transport these majestic animals quickly and safely, while earning some extra cash.
Do you need horsebox driver training to tow horseboxes?
If it’s a one-off favour? No, although having the right knowledge always comes in handy in these situations.
But if you’re planning on earning money – be it a share of prize money or direct payment – from towing horseboxes, the law is crystal clear: you need an operator licence and formal horsebox driver training.
Regularly towing horseboxes without the appropriate qualifications and training could land you with a hefty fine if you’re caught, so it always pays to do things the right way.
Horsebox driver training not only teaches you the basics of how to securely attach and move horseboxes, but also the essential techniques needed to keep a horsebox steady and smooth on the road, for the benefit of the animal and those around you.
