“You genuinely won’t find better.”
I’ve known Gabby for a few years now and I can honestly say she’s one of the most caring and capable people I’ve ever met when it comes to horses (and people). She has a calm, confident way with them, and even the nervous or tricky ones relax in her company.
I’ve trusted her with my own horses many times, and I always know they’re in safe hands. She treats every horse as if it were her own, paying attention to every little detail to make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and happy.
Whether it’s transporting or grooming, Gabby always goes above and beyond. I can’t recommend her enough, if you’re looking for someone reliable, gentle, and completely dedicated to the wellbeing of your horse, you genuinely won’t find better.

“It’s such a comfort knowing your horse is in loving hands.”
I can’t recommend Gabby highly enough! She is kind, friendly, and truly dedicated, always putting your horse’s well-being first. The care and attention she gives are second to none, and it’s clear she treats every horse as if it were her own. It’s such a comfort knowing your horse is in loving hands.

“I had a fantastic experience!”
I had a fantastic experience renting Betty Blue 3.5 ton horsebox from Holty Hooves. The whole process was easy, the people lovely to deal with and the Horsebox immaculate. Pristine condition and clean. Everything worked and I would highly recommend them as a hire company.

“Holty Hooves Betty Blue has provided the most luxurious travel experience my horse has ever had.”
Holty Hooves' Betty Blue has provided the most luxurious travel experience my horse has ever had. The box is modern and spacious, with a gently sloping ramp that closes smoothly. My mare isn’t the easiest to load—she’s often suspicious of horseboxes—but she’s been happily loading into Betty without hesitation.
Inside, the box is equipped with excellent air conditioning and a soothing blue lighting system, which helps keep things calm and cool during summer trips. I hired Betty for a week-long camp in Wales in summer 2025. Due to unexpected heavy traffic, our journey ended up taking seven hours, but my mare arrived in great spirits, having travelled comfortably the entire way.
Driving Betty was a pleasure too—she’s very easy to handle, so I wasn’t nearly as tired as I might have been otherwise. Holty Hooves’ online booking system made it simple to check availability and calculate the total cost. The booking process was straightforward, and Ian and Gabby were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout. Thoroughly recommended.

“I would recommend to anyone!”
I used Holty Hooves lorry in the summer having sold my lorry and suddenly needing to take a horse to a chiropractor. Ian was incredibly helpful and accommodating with a late drop off, the lorry Betty Blue immaculate and so easy to drive. I’m a convert! Would definitely use Holly Hooves again and would recommend to anyone.

Superb lorry, very clean, easy to drive and Scarlet travelled well (she likes Betty Blue). Owners were professional and couldn’t have been more helpful. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and will definitely use again. Thank you.
