Horseboxes we have been dreaming about
Solar panels, underfloor heating, polished wood panelling, Italian tiling… specs for a new luxury home? Nope – just standard fittings for a top of the range, luxury horsebox. And now, the age of the ‘slide out’ and ‘pop up’ ensures every top spec horse lorry on the market, has at least an extendable living area and bathroom.
So, if money were no object, which would you choose? We look at the highest spec horseboxes on the circuit today – generally priced between £400,000 – £600,000, what do they have to offer?
Sleeping up to eight people and built to bespoke order with a fully fitted kitchen, bathroom and living area, the Supremacy ticks all the high spec boxes.
