Our Fleet
Unlike many transport agents John Parker International uses its own modern fleet of highly specialised horseboxes. Drawing on their years of experience, the Parkers have refined their boxes to improve the safety and comfort they offer.
You can expect the following when using Parkers services: -
- Expert loading
- Adjustable stalls and partitions
- Non-slip floor
- Low height loading ramp
- Constant monitoring throughout the journey using on-board cctv
- Experienced and courteous drivers
- Water and feed available throughout the journey
From two to eleven horse stall vehicles, the fleet is continually being upgraded and all feature air suspension front and rear improving the comfort and stability during the journey. An added bonus of this is that the lorry height can be lowered reducing the steepness of the loading/unloading ramp.
Two competent and knowledgeable drivers accompany the horses on all European journeys and can be contacted 24 hours a day. On board cameras monitor the condition of the horses at all times, allowing the drivers to react quickly to any problems that may occur. Feed and water is carried on board and special dietary needs can be catered for.




Using a network of stables across Europe enables all horses to be rested every night, thereby improving the quality of the journey for them. All vehicles have insulated bodies and are fitted with extra fans to improve the climate inside whatever the weather outside.
Parkers fleet are Scania, chosen for their reliability and performance. Our horseboxes are built for us by Gazeley Horseboxes. All vehicles are clearly identifiable by their unique colour and logo.
