If you are in the United Kingdom, you understand the importance of getting licence plates for your vehicles, but when your horse involved, you can do so much more.

As such, we have done the hard work for you. Below, we tell you all you need to know about horse boxes to help you make the right decision. Here at Number1Plates, we’re your one stop shop when it comes to horse trailer number plates.

What is the process of buying a number plate?

You have two choices when it comes to buying plate numbers for your horse box:

• Buying from the DVLA. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency holds auctions across the UK approximately five times a year. During this time, the public is allowed to bid for available numbers in writing, online, by phone or in person. When you bid for the number successfully, you pay for it and are awarded a certificate of entitlement which allows you to assign the number to your horse box.
• Buying from a private dealer. You can buy the plate from a dealer. The dealer will transfer the number to your vehicle for you. At number1plates, we provide you with options so that you can choose the plate you feel is best for you and your beloved horse.

Why get your horse number plates from us?

We have a qualified team that understands your needs as a horse and horsebox owner, and so, we will work side by side with you to ensure you get a plate that suits you and your horse’s personality. Our plates also vary in price and so, you can choose one that matches your budget.

The format for your horse number plate.

Just like other number plates, horsebox plates follow the 2001 vehicle registration number format. They, therefore, consist of two letters referring to the place the car was first registered followed by two numbers that show when it was issued, and three last numbers are chosen randomly. While this looks like a rigid format, we at Number1plates can help you get plates that catch the eye and are fun to read. You can, therefore, get in contact with us to help you get a plate of your choice.

What should you know about quality number plates?

Your number plate should be made from reflective material so that it is visible even in the dark. The rear plate is usually has a yellow background while the front has a white background. In both cases, the characters are in white. As a horsebox owner, you should be careful not to alter or interfere with your plate as this is an offense. Any attempts to format or change the appearance of your plate can lead to fines of up to £1000 or a withdrawal of your registration. You should, therefore, ensure that you follow the rules to avoid any inconvenience.
