Why is it called "The Happiness Horsebox"?

The original idea was to help riders with disabilities mount horses easily, with all the facilities needed..... Then we adapted the design to offer a private space where people could meet beautiful horses or enjoy being out in the countryside again.

And quite simply , these visits make people happy again! Horses hold a special place in many people's hearts, with their beauty, their size and athleticism, their personality and gentleness.  And as a horsebox, our service is, of course, mobile - we can go all over the UK! 

As it is a professionally managed HGV we do need to cover our costs, but are happy to  plan ahead to combine visits and events in an area.
