Everything you need to know about our horse transport and welfare standards.
It is a legal requirement that all horses must travel with their passport. Please ensure your horse's passport is available on the day.
Yes, we provide round-the-clock emergency transport where available to veterinary hospitals and clinics. Please contact me directly by phone 07939230017 for immediate emergency callouts.
If you have any concerns about your horse travelling, please let me know beforehand. Please advise if your horse is difficult to load so we can allow extra time for loading. Live tracking of the journey is available, and I am happy to give updates during the journey. If you need to contact me during transport, please call me on 07939230017.
DEFRA Authorisation No: UK/BURY/T1/00116491. Fully insured for hire and reward, including Care, Custody & Control insurance and comprehensive breakdown cover. Documentation is available on request.
I am highly experienced and patient when loading horses. Horses are never rushed or forced into the box. A calm and positive approach makes the process stress-free for both horse and owner.
Yes, subject to available cab seating and prior arrangement, owners or grooms are welcome to travel along to events, shows, or vet appointments.
I provide hay or haylage, and fresh water is carried on board. I also carry a selection of headcollars, lead ropes, and a full equine first aid kit.
For planned journeys (shows, relocations, vet visits, etc.), I advise booking as far in advance as possible to secure your slot. However, I always do my best to accommodate short-notice requests.
Biosecurity is paramount. The horsebox is fully pressure washed and disinfected using a DEFRA-approved disinfectant after every trip. I also carry a portable disinfecting unit.
Your horse’s welfare is my top priority. On longer journeys, I offer regular rest stops for water and hay top-ups. Horses deemed unfit to travel must be assessed by a vet beforehand (this excludes emergency transport to veterinary hospitals).
Payload Requirements: When requesting a quote, please provide full details of your horse (age, height, weight, sex, etc.) so I can ensure we remain safely within legal payload limits.
Pricing Structure: Transport is charged at a standard rate per mile. For an exact quote, please provide full postcodes for both collection and delivery locations.
Invoicing: An invoice will be provided prior to the day of travel.
Payment Terms: Cleared payment must be received on the day of travel, by the end of the journey.
