Most horsebox recovery calls into Exeter come in the worst possible moment — late night, bad weather, somewhere awkward. Our local controllers triage by urgency, not by ticket order, so vulnerable callers move up the queue.
Most horsebox recovery calls from suburban Exeter are driveway or roadside — kerbed wheels, dead batteries, school-run no-starts. We attend on appointment or short-notice.
Parked cars on both sides, low driveway clearance, and overhanging trees are the usual obstacles — we send the right-sized truck rather than the biggest one.
