horse box

Animal hauling vehicle

A horse box is a trailer or enclosed vehicle compartment designed to transport horses.

In British usage, it can also refer to a standalone vehicle built for this purpose, equivalent to the American "horse trailer." The term sometimes appears as one word: horsebox.

We loaded the mare into the horse box for the journey to the show grounds.
