With the recent ice and snow that has swept across the UK, horse owners are reminded of the vital role horsebox maintenance plays in ensuring safety during wintery conditions. A reliable horsebox isn’t just about convenience, it’s about safeguarding your horse’s welfare and giving you peace of mind when navigating treacherous roads. At Cooke Coachbuilders, we want to ensure that all our customers are staying safe on the roads no matter the time of year.
Winter weather presents unique challenges, from icy patches on the road to the risk of freezing components affecting your horsebox’s performance. Regular horsebox maintenance helps identify and address potential issues before they escalate into costly or dangerous problems. For instance, worn tyres, faulty lights, or a failing battery could lead to serious complications in colder temperatures. Staying proactive not only minimises these risks but also ensures your horse’s comfort during travel.
At Cooke Coachbuilders, we understand the demands winter places on your vehicle. Our bespoke horseboxes are crafted to endure all seasons, but even the best designs benefit from regular care. We provide thorough service and MOT options, including full vehicle body checks at our factory. These inspections can identify winter-specific concerns, ensuring your horsebox remains dependable regardless of the conditions.
Routine checks can also extend the lifespan of your horsebox, protecting your investment. With snow and ice potentially leading to corrosion or wear, addressing minor issues promptly can prevent significant damage. Utilising our team of professionals for horsebox maintenance ensures no detail is overlooked, from heating systems essential for horse comfort to ensuring door seals and flooring are in top condition.
For those who have experienced the recent snowy conditions in parts of the UK, it’s clear how unpredictable the weather can be. Having your horsebox serviced and MOT-ready isn’t just a seasonal necessity, it’s a year-round commitment to safety and performance. At Cooke Coachbuilders, we not only offer services and MOTs but also uphold our dedication to exceptional customer service, giving you confidence on the road.
