Walsall-based truck dealer Hartshorne has supplied two Volvo trucks to one of the country's leading specialists in luxury horseboxes.  

Hartshorne has supplied two new Volvo FL 4x2 rigid trucks with 240 horsepower Euro 5 engines to Wolverhampton-based Sovereign Horseboxes.

Sovereign has converted the vehicles to luxury bespoke horseboxes, individually designed for customers. The company, based in Tettenhall, has been specialising in the fabrication of luxury horseboxes for more than 40 years.

The first Volvo-based horsebox was produced for Nina Emery of Moss Farm Shop in Cannock. The horsebox used hand-crafted parts and finishes and high quality materials.

Sovereign were so pleased with the finished horsebox, they replicated it for a demonstrator vehicle to show off their capabilities.

Hartshorne's Dean Guttridge said Sovereign had a national reputation for their craftsmanship and Hartshorne was delighted to be supplying them with vehicles.

"The horseboxes produced by Sovereign are beautiful products which are uncompromising in their luxury and finish," he said.

The Hartshorne Group is the Volvo Trucks agent for the Midlands, with 12 depots across central England. The company is part of the Crossroads Group.
