When you're re-registering a commercial vehicle in your name, you need some evidence you own a business. My dad uses his herd number for his vehicle.

Why dont you use same? or your equine premises number if it differs from the herd number.
You do not get a letter as such from HSI as per your original post.

If you have a herd number/access to a herd number or equine premises number that will suffice. I use the herd number myself. Have never got HSI letter, never being asked for it even when i was re-registering the jeep last year. In fact no one i know in the same boat has ever needed or got HSI letter.

Grand so, thanks for the update. Cleared that up.

Do you need to be doing horses as a business though to qualify? I always wondered about that

mainly as the tax rules state commerical vehicles cannot be used for 'social, domestic or pleasure purposes'
so using it to tow to a hunter trial, for example, wouldn't be work related.
