Horse Ambulance

Horse Ambulance

The Elston Horse Ambulance was built for The Jockey Club in 2019 in an effort to improve safer handling and improved convalescence of injured animals. Fitted with air suspension, the ambulance can be lowered to the floor reducing the need for injured animal to walk up ramps, which otherwise have the potential to cause further discomfort and injury.

Once in the trailer the animal can be secured in position for transit. Once at the destination, the animal can simply walk straight out of the front door once the unit is lowered. This arrangement prevents the injured animal from having to turn or twist upon leaving the ambulance. Functionally, the ambulance is fitted with spinning ventilators split sliding windows and roof top opening skylights.

Partitions are easily adjustable and removable, with all internal mudguards radius and rubber lined for the safety of grooms and handlers. The underfloor consists of fully accessible waste tanks with rubber clad hinged aluminium lids that can be hosed out easily through rear discharge outlets.

A knuckle arrangement enables the trailer to be lowered either ON or OFF the towing vehicle whilst front door side screens prevent animal entering the drawbar area. An onboard camera is fitted for animal monitoring whilst in transit. Other features include recovery and privacy screens installed within the ambulance.
