A crate for transporting a plurality of animals particularly horses is formed by a rectangular container to be placed on a supporting base and defined by two side panels and two end panels connected edge to edge. Each panel is defined by a frame comprising upstanding end posts and top and bottom cross rails and a sheet attached to the frame to at least partly close the frame and thus confine the animals within the container. The sheet of at least the side panels is bent to form a horizontally extending outwardly bulged section at least partly along the panel at a height on the panel spaced from a bottom edge and from a top edge and arranged at a height on the panel of the order of 4 feet from the base to receive the body of the animals when standing on the base to provide additional room for the animals without increasing the footprint of the crate.
