Horse Vans
The EHT Duo range are designed to carry 1-2* horses or ponies in comfort, with or without living accommodation for you. Just as with all of our builds, the Duo can be fitted out to match your bespoke requirements and adjusted to meet your personal specifications.
We are very proud of the Duo and the accessibility it provides to so many horse enthusiasts who truly care about the transportation of their animals. Safety and comfort for both horse and rider are achievable via these very accessible and popular Horse Vans.
We have built relationships with a Duo of highly respected UK coachbuilders and are excited to offer their products here in New Zealand.
When considering a horse van purchase we highly recommend you research the builders thoroughly and check their online reviews.
True innovators and leaders in the industry, offering outstanding build quality, safety, and longevity. Kevin Parker Horseboxes present the Aeos range of horse vans (3.5 and 4.5 tonnes) and the Helios range of horse trucks.
“Kevin Parker Horseboxes are by far one of THE best manufacturers in the country (UK)….My box is 4.5 ton so has plenty of payload which was very important to me. Too many manufacturers gloss over the safety issues… not KPH…These boxes are not cheap… but it is not about cheap… you most definitely get what you pay for in the horsebox world. KPH don’t cut corners and pride themselves on the quality….”. Hannah Sheldon.
The Aeos range of horse vans benefits from a multitude of safety features often lacking in horse vans from other manufacturers:
- Side impact protection and a reinforced safety cell to the horse wall.
- Ground-breaking 35mm Coat-X Polyurea protected padding on the walls, partition, and lift-up ramp door.
- Stainless steel ramps and hinges, and sliding stainless steel horse partitions.
- Coat-X also protects the horse area floor, waste drain tubes, and ramp.
- Adjustable mounting rail in front of each horse for the Equi Travel Safe harness (prevents rearing/jumping whilst leaving your horses free to move, balance, and relax).

*Please ensure that the payload for these vans matches your needs. We have heard too many stories of trucks sold as ‘2 horse trucks’ yet only having a 1 tonne or less payload. Remember, it’s not just the horses’ weight you have to consider, it’s a truck fully loaded with humans, hay, feed, water, tack and fuel too. Have a read of this brilliant blog by KPH if you want to understand payload better.
