OHTO is the foremost horsebox and trailer
breakdown cover in the UK and Europe. Founded
in 1985 by Managing Director and equestrian
showing competitor, Jon Phillips. We hope this
finds you all safe and well and that you are
managing to take care of yourselves, family and
animals during this highly unusual time.
We have recovered horses from breakdown
situations for a number of members who were
on vet and stud runs over the past few weeks, so
we know that your cover needs to remain in
place.
We are conscious that financial concerns will not
disappear overnight, so we offering all new UK
memberships and renewals processed during
May and June a 25% discount. If your renewal
does not fall during this time but you would like
to take advantage of the discount it will be
possible to renew early.
If you are a Trailer customer and thinking of
renewing, please have a look at our new product
365 Car and Trailer Cover - this will also cover
your towing vehicle when it is not towing,
OUR STORY
UK & EURO RESCUES
OHTO have attended over 100,000 emergency
callouts covering the whole of the UK and Europe
since our first call-out in August 1986.
24/7
The Organisation of Horsebox and Trailer Owners Breakdown
Cover is fully comprehensive, supplying all areas of equestrian
sport and leisure with the best available service throughout
the UK and Europe. Since 1985 we have attended over 100,000
breakdowns ensuring we have the best suppliers, the best
operators and the most experience. All our staff and call
handlers have extensive equestrian knowledge and most have
owned their own horses or worked with them.
Our parent company PRP Rescue Services is the largest of its
kind in Europe. Because we are the only equestrian
breakdown company recognised by the Highways Agency,
closing main roads and motorways or using rolling road-blocks
to facilitate the offloading of your horses is never a problem.
Our tyre services are also the best available, combining several
of the major UK suppliers. If new tyres are supplied we never
ask our members for payment at the time (unlike most other
suppliers). The tyres are always invoiced at a later date
complete with a copy of our suppliers invoice so that you can
see that we have not marked the prices up in any way or
included a handling charge.
Unlike
many
other
equestrian
breakdown
companies,
OHTO
only
uses
fully
certified,
professional
agents.
