Horse Transport Leasing that puts Horses First 

For professionals in the equestrian world, horses are more than passengers, they are the heart of the operation. Whether you’re a breeder transporting youngstock, a rider travelling to competition, or a vet delivering critical care, how you move your horses matters. That’s why more equine professionals are choosing horse transport leasing models that put welfare first — not just budgets. 

With horse transport leasing through STX Finance, clients can access modern, well-equipped vehicles that support the highest standards of equine safety, comfort, and compliance. By leasing, rather than owning, you gain the flexibility to use the latest in horse transport technology, without the burden of managing vehicle ageing, resale, or constant repair cycles. 

A Safe Journey Starts with the Right Equipment 

Every kilometre travelled with a horse in transit is a shared responsibility. Ensuring your truck supports the animal’s health and comfort is a non-negotiable part of the job. Operational leasing enables access to newer models with features specifically designed for the safety and welfare of horses. 

These features aren’t just high-end extras. They are critical welfare tools, especially for professionals who transport horses over long distances or frequently work with young or anxious animals. 

Welfare and Reputation Go Hand in Hand 

How your horses arrive says everything about how you do business. A horse that arrives calm, safe, and ready to perform reflects well on everyone involved, from handlers and riders to trainers and transporters. 

When you opt for horse transport leasing through STX Finance, you align your brand with quality, reliability, and accountability. Clients notice the difference, and your own team benefits from the practical improvements leasing allows. Better ventilation, suspension, and layout mean less stress on both horses and humans, fewer incidents on the road, and reduced recovery time post-transport. 

Leasing: A Welfare-First Mobility Strategy 

Unlike ownership, which often requires businesses to hold onto trucks long past their peak condition, operational leasing gives you the option to upgrade at the end of your term. That means you’re always using a vehicle that reflects current safety standards, meets animal transport regulations, and supports the physical needs of your horses. 

Leasing removes the pressure to constantly repair or modify ageing trucks just to keep them operational. Instead, you’re driving a vehicle that’s built for the demands of modern equine transport and ready for inspection at any point. 

Compact Solutions for Professional Use 

For professionals using compact horse vans that can be driven with a standard B licence, leasing offers even more practical advantages. These vehicles are ideal for one- or two-horse loads, making them perfect for vet visits, local shows, or flexible scheduling across multiple sites. Leasing allows you to access these models without having to manage full vehicle ownership or tie up capital in long-term assets. 

Because STX Finance retains ownership of the vehicle during the lease, clients aren’t responsible for resale, depreciation, or market fluctuations. At the end of the agreement, simply return the vehicle or upgrade to a new model. That means less time managing logistics, and more time focused on your horses.
