Horse Ambulance north/ northeast england?

[flaxen]

Does anyone know if there are any horse ambulance companies in the north/ northeast of england that are fully equipped with sling, winch etc?

I heard while out today that someone I knew of has had to have their horse pts over the weekend due to it needing emergency colic surgery in the night and they dont have transport and werent able to get any transport for it and the vets had no option.

I know there is one in worcs nr droitwich as have used him personally and also saw him regularly at the vets I used to work at in glos, but havent heard of any further north except for racecourse ones and they arent available to joe public.

Feel free to pm me if you dont want to announce it out loud. Thanks.

No idea about the ambulance I'm afraid, as wrong area of the country for me, but I just wanted to send my condolences to your friend. Such a shame that her horse didn't have a chance

My very special (pregnant) mare had to be rushed to the vets for colic surgery late last year. The yard I am at, have an HGV lorry that is used for transport, but it wasn't at the yard that day... it was away for it's plating. I was at work, desperately trying to leave, and very fortunately, the yard have a set of my trailer keys, and my friends dad (Transport man) a 4x4 to tow it with, so they did that, but if the trailer hadn't been there, goodness knows what would have happened. scary stuff.
