I'm going to be moving my girl from Essex to the Peak District in the next couple of months.

Horse is 25YO, so i want to make sure she goes from A to B directly so minimise transport time

Ive never used transport companies before, so looking for recomendations please! Essex/ Cambs area and/ or Derby/ Sheffield areas I guess?

Ideally/ alternatively i am thinking of hiring a huge lorry, packing up my house, chickens, ducks, and other various animals, then popping pony on back to do drive in one hit? (step dad has HGV licence) so also need to know of Self- Drive companies where i could maybe do this? (or is that a silly idea?!)

Feeling a tad overwhelmed by how much i have to move and want to avoid distrupting animals as much as i can!
 
You can try this site : http://www.findhorsetransport.org/quote.htm

Put in all your details and they contact horse transporters who then contact you via email with a quote.

When I travelled long distance to pick up a horse I bought (10 hr round trip) I hired a 3.5tn renault for £95 + fuel. There are many companies hiring them for around the same price.

Your a STAR! i will do that now. Thank you so much, i really dont know where to start!! xx
 
That could also be helpful! I have recieved a few quotes through already from transporters which seem reasonable (and may just mean thats one less thing for me to do!)

If you could PM me your details and how much hire for 2 days would be please, that would be helpful

Many thanks
