Paragan Horseboxes – other models: British horseboxes between the Equistar 3 and the Excelsion 5 XL, 4-cylinder 2,299 cm³ diesels, gross weight consistently 3.5 tonnes
Paragan Horseboxes is a British builder of horse transporters based in Whitchurch, fitting horse stall, tack room and living space bodies onto light-van chassis. This page gathers versions the register could not assign to a named range, from the Equistar 3 through the Equistar 3XL to the Excelsion 5 XL; the numbers in the model names denote the number of horse spaces, and XL a lengthened cab.

The register lists here 3 versions with 4-cylinder 2,299 cm³ diesel engines, unladen weights from 2,482 to 2,827 kg, a gross weight fixed throughout at 3,500 kg, lengths from 5,750 to 6,760 mm and a width of 2,150 mm.
Such horseboxes serve riding stables, studs and private horse owners taking animals to shows and competitions; a gross weight of 3.5 tonnes keeps them in the class that can still be driven on a standard category B licence, as long as tow vehicle and trailer combined stay under that limit.
On a used horsebox, the condition of the floor and partitions in the horse stall, rust on the frame and wheel arches under the added moisture load, the function of the ramp and its latches, brakes and tyres under the high payload, and the usual wear points of the diesel base vehicle on the chassis all count.
