Hi Everyone!
I am assisting my husband in horse farming business since last three years. Recently, we made a broad and bigger farmhouse for our animals and according to my friendly John who works at HorseBOX Insurance ( https://www.horseinboxinsurance.co.uk/ ), its the time when we must buy a horsebox.
I just want to know the importance of horsebox or is my friend is only satisfying his own business goals with this kind of pieces of advice.

I take it, you're in the UK ? Don't know about your legal requirements.
In the US, the towing vehicle or horse van carries the liability insurance for damages to another. That's required here.
As for damages to your owned vehicle or trailer, that's an extra policy and expense. That's optional in the States. Of course, without such a insurance policy, any damage or loss hits your purse. If one can't take such a loss, insurance is a must. I don't have insurance on my older horse trailer (float) so if I was at fault in an accident, it's my loss. As it would be to you without horsebox? insurance.
