Our Story
About Us
Decades of horse-riding experience, world-class composite fabrication, and a deep understanding of what horse and owner actually need on the road.
Areion Australia brings proven New Zealand horse float design and craftsmanship to Australian horse owners.
Originally founded and built in New Zealand, Areion was created by lifelong horse people with a deep understanding of what horses and owners truly need from a float: generous horse bays, smooth safe finishes, smart storage, strong construction, and a design that makes travel easier.
Areion now proudly serves the Australian market with a range of boutique, custom-built horse floats and trailers designed around real horse people and real travel conditions.
We specialise in 2-, 3- and 4-horse angle-load floats, with options for practical storage, comfort features, and living areas. Every build is designed to be lightweight, strong, and easy to tow behind the types of utes commonly used throughout Australia.
A major advantage of the Areion construction method is the use of composite fibreglass and aluminium materials. This creates a float that is strong, insulated, lightweight, and resistant to rot and rust — a smart choice for Australian conditions, long-distance travel, heat, dust, and demanding roads.
With experience across automotive finishing, large motorhome fit-outs, coaches, and horse trucks, every Areion float benefits from a high level of finish, practical layout knowledge, and attention to detail. Whether you need a simple, reliable entry-level float or a fully customised luxury build, Areion can create a solution to suit your horses, your vehicle, and the way you travel.
At Areion Australia, customer service matters. We listen carefully, build thoughtfully, and focus on making horse transport safer, easier, and more comfortable for both horse and owner.
