Discovery Horse Floats

𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠… 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮.
Over the past year, riders across Australia have shared what truly matters — the little comforts, the towing feel, the quality, the way a float should flow for both horse and human. We listened!

Behind the scenes, we’ve been quietly re designing our entire range. New specifications. Refined components. Fresh cabinetry concepts. Smarter options crafted with purpose, care, and a deep understanding of how real horse lovers travel.

And if you’d like an early look — or to be among the first to see the new designs — reach out. We’d love to share what’s unfolding behind the scenes.

What are your horses standing on?

This week alone, three horse owners shared horror stories of floor failures — rotted timber, weak joins, and unsafe materials hidden beneath the surface.

Sadly, there are still float manufacturers cutting corners with substandard floors.

At Discovery Floats, every floor is built for strength and longevity:
10 mm equine rubber for comfort and grip,
19 mm plywood and 25 mm kiln‑dried hardwood for structural integrity,
and 40 mm SHS steel supports for uncompromising strength.

Because your horses deserve the best foundation — not a risk.
If you care for your horse, choose the float built to last.

🐴 Happy Birthday to all Aussie horses!

August 1 marks another lap around the sun for every horse in Australia.
Here’s to strong partnerships, safe travels, and the craftsmanship that keeps them moving — proudly Discovery.

We’re running out of room… and it’s entirely your fault.
Thank you for keeping us so busy that our factory is bursting at the seams. Discovery is growing — and a bigger home is on the horizon.

Angela’s stunning new Discovery Float is officially on the road to Tasmania 🇦🇺✨

This one’s a real head‑turner — sleek graphite exterior with bold purple branding, and a luxe interior that’s all marble finishes and modern comfort.
Built for adventure, designed for style, and ready for the island life.

Safe travels, Angela — we can’t wait to see it rolling through Tassie’s countryside soon!

Our floats just had their two‑month weigh‑in… and the scales are smiling.

By switching our central tack box lining from steel to aluminium composite panel, we’ve shaved almost 20kg off floats with that configuration. Add another 7kg saved from smarter cabinetry design, and the glow‑up continues.

We’re now 27kg lighter since launching our Jenny Craig challenge.
73kg left. 10 months. We’re not slowing down.

Catch up on the first post if you missed the start of the journey.

Every horse deserves a Second Chance.
That's why we're proud to support TOBY, an inspiring Australian feature film based on the remarkable true story of a neglected horse who overcomes incredible hardship to become a national hero, finding love, trust and healing for himself and his humans.
One of the most powerful moments in the film is Toby's rescue. Frightened, weak and broken, he must be gently coaxed into a horse float, the first step on a journey that will change his life forever.
As people who care deeply about horse welfare and safety, this story resonates strongly with us.
TOBY is currently raising production funds through the Australian Cultural Fund and every fully tax deductible donation helps bring this extraordinary Australian story to the screen.
If you believe in the power of horses to heal, inspire and transform lives, we'd encourage you to support the project.
Together, we can help share Toby's story with audiences across Australia and around the world.

The TOBY film is an adaptation of the Allen and Unwin best selling biographical novel Second Chance, detailing Toby’s rescue from the knackery truck to becoming the most decorated police horse in Australian history.
