Mustang nr Chester.
Strongly built 3.5t Marlborough stallion boxes. I'm very fussy as to what I'll allow my horses to travel in, but have no hesitation in recommending them.
They do self hire plus transport with a driver.

Mustang are worth a call to find out. If they can't they work with the other transporters in the area so will be able to recommend someone else if they can't do it.not sure it’d fit them both payload wise as the horse is 17 hands

i don’t know may that have bigger boxes for transport. Boothroyden do but I don’t think they will do show days unfortunately. Can you hire a trailer?

Thanks all
trailer would be fine but don’t have a car to pull one / no trailer licence

You don’t need a special license to tow anymore. Barlows may have something bigger than a 3.5, I don’t think you’d get a driver thoughThanks all

We may just have to get separate transport (owner of pony sort their own) as didn’t know it’d be so complicated haha ? thanks for helping. I wouldn’t trust myself pulling a trailer knowing me I’d break it!

Probably not then, but there would be plenty of room for the 17hh solo, which is not true of all/many 3.5t boxes. They have travelled heavy horses.not sure it’d fit them both payload wise as the horse is 17 hands

LT Equine transport. That’s my yard owner and she is fab. Has a 7.5 T lorry or a trailer. Looks after the horses really well. Super friendly. Happy to taxi, wait and return. I’ll be using her to transport Amber and foal as I dare not drive myself with such precious cargo!

I used to be decisive, now I'm not so sure...
My horse arrived on a Mustang 2 box, despite coming over from Ireland on the ferry with a big firm on a 9 horse box. The Mustang driver was great, the box was great.
They obviously work with other firms as I only paid the big firm and they sub contracted to Mustang for the final leg of the journey.

Strong recommendation for Jen of Pony Pick-ups. She uses a trailer and pick-up truck, so a lot more payload than a 3.5t lorry.

Jen is fab, I had forgotten about her actually!
