Denton Horse Boxes

IN A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN

Denton Horse Boxes was finally established in 2018 after five years of research, planning and design.

Andrew Oliff and Alex Leith, both passionate equestrians, started the business after noticing a gap in the market that needed to be filled.

“We wanted to find an alternative to towing a horse box. With South African roads being as they are towing just isn’t as safe and easy as it should be. We looked to Europe to see what they were doing there to cope with their small, winding lanes and found various options, which we looked into,” says Andrew.

“These vehicles were perfect for our purposes but importing them from Europe just wasn’t viable, so we set about making our own version here in South Africa, in line with European standards. Our first boxes are now out on the roads, and people love them.”

WHAT MAKES DENTON DIFFERENT

When you choose to own a Denton Horse Box, you buy much more than a horsebox.

“When people invest in one of our boxes, they are buying into our passion for horse safety, comfort, rider convenience, rider safety and outstanding quality. Our boxes are built locally, and whilst they meet the European standards, they are adapted to fit with our South African road conditions and also accommodate all facets of the South African equestrian lifestyle! We build quality boxes, which is why we manufacture our boxes onto brand new Mercedes Benz chassis, which have superior power, braking and safety standards.”

All boxes are manufactured in Johannesburg, where Andrew and Alex are based. This allows them to be handson throughout the process, and monitor progress closely. In their own words, “We are dedicated to providing the African market with a quality product with our industry leading warranty and service plan.”

FINANCING

Denton Horse Boxes have teamed up with Kuda Insurance to offer a finance plan for anyone wishing to purchase one of their boxes.

CUSTOMISE YOUR BOX

Not content to have superior driveability, safety and comfort, Denton also offer various options for customising your horsebox to fit your specific needs. In fact, the options are fairly limitless. The boxes come equipped with tack storage, a cupboard for show jackets and boots and grooms’ seating, but should you require something extra, Denton are there to help. “We understand that everyone is different and has different priorities when it comes to their horsebox. We’re happy to get creative and kit the horsebox out with everything you might need,” says Alex.

THIS IS HOW DENTON DO DENTON HORSE BOXES

THE FUTURE

“Currently we’re manufacturing two berth boxes, but from later this year we’ll be launching our first four berth trucks and all going well 8 berth trucks in 2023. These larger ‘trucks’ will still maintain all of the Denton features, but simply accommodate more horses,” says Andrew. “We’ve had lots of enquiries about bigger boxes, and we’re excited to be getting them into production.”

FINAL THOUGHTS

To have a product of this quality manufactured here in South Africa, with endless options for customisation is a dream come true for many equestrians. Towing is a stressful, but necessary, part of the equestrian lifestyle and these boxes give peace of mind (and five star luxury) for those who invest in them. We feel confident that Denton’s Horse Boxes will go from strength to strength under the guidance of these two passionate entrepreneurs. They have found a true gap in the market, and filled it in style!
