Well… this is one way to discover your horsebox is taller than you thought. 😬🙈

Thankfully this wasn’t one of our boxes, and even more importantly there were no horses onboard ❤️🐴

But it does serve as a reminder that low bridges don’t care how experienced you are, how many miles you’ve driven, or how many times you’ve been down a road before. One wrong turn, a moment’s distraction, or a sat nav with its own agenda and things can go horribly wrong very quickly. 😔

Our hearts genuinely go out to the self-drive company involved. Behind every horsebox is a small business, countless hours of hard work, huge financial commitments, and often someone’s entire livelihood. Losing a vehicle like this isn’t just a damaged box – it’s lost bookings, insurance headaches, repairs, stress, and uncertainty. 💔

So whilst the internet loves a good “you can’t park there mate” moment… let’s remember there are real people dealing with the aftermath today. ❤️

A good reminder for all horsebox drivers:
✅ Check your vehicle height
✅ Plan routes carefully
✅ Don’t blindly trust the sat nav
✅ If in doubt, stop and check

And if you’re ever unsure about a bridge height… it’s far better to turn around and look silly for five minutes than become the star of Facebook for the next five years. 😅🙈

Wishing the company involved a speedy recovery and hoping they’re back on the road soon. 🍀🚚

Hot weather exercise guide for horses ☀️

We often see posts regarding dogs struggling in the heat but horses do too, especially during exercise, travelling or standing in direct sunlight. High temperatures and humidity can increase the risk of dehydration, heat stress and heatstroke.
Under 20°C
Suitable for normal exercise with sensible management and plenty of fresh water.
20–25°C
Reduce intensity or duration where needed and include regular walk breaks.
25–30°C
Avoid strenuous work. Keep sessions short and light, ideally early morning or later in the evening.
Over 30°C
Avoid ridden exercise where possible and focus on keeping your horse cool and hydrated.

Cooling tip:
Research by Dr Joe Pagan and the team at Kentucky Equine Research found that continuous application of cold water is the most effective way to cool horses down. There’s no need to scrape the water off between applications so keep the cold water flowing to help reduce body temperature as efficiently as possible.
