Thanks to you all. She said she was hacking yesterday and had to get off and walk home as her back end didnt feel right. Well to me reading the above I would strongly suspect that the mare had tied up with Azortoria.

Not done it with a trailer but have done it with a lorry. It is one of the routes that horses are allowed to travel on.

Eurotunnel still take horses. However, booking can only be done through 3 Firms and your vehicle must be fitted with a sealed air box.

Yes LD Lines do take horses and they are a lot cheaper than Brittany Ferries who put a 25% loading on the price of a ticket as they class horses as Dangerous Cargo.

Very happy with ours which is 36' by 12' made up of 2 stables each end with tack room in centre as it is used to house 2 stallions. It is on metal skids and also has light panels in the roof which makes the stables really light inside. We have fitted a solar panel unit to give us electric...

By law any transport company whether it be for livestock or dead goods has to hold a Goods in transit policy. Think of a House Removal Firm that didn't hold such a policy. Go with a Firm that will arrange this cover for you.

Actually PandorasJar there have been several successful proscecutions through Court but namely of dealers rather than the private individual.

Definitely Trading Standards as they are responsible for policing it and bring necessary prosecutions

The mane can be left loose, plaited or even hogged off as it would be for a pure-bred mare being shown. It is really your choice as to what suits your horse best.

plastic bag filled with cement is one quick way or you can go into B & Q and get a bath plug assembly. Make sure there are no taps left on the bath though as these can get caught in a horses headcollar. Have used them for years with no problem although we did have one livery horse for a while...
