Been searching once again for somewhere that hires out 3.5T horseboxes or someone looking for some company at shows with a space for coblet. Needs to be Wells/Taunton/Yeovil area (I'm in Street) but my googling has turned up nothing :( Closest seems to be Bristol or Minehead but that's still a bit of a trek.

How I wish I could find someone who wants to share or just win the lottery *le sigh* Any suggestions really appreciated.
 
I understand how you feel :( I am in the Wiltshire area looking for someone with a little space in their lorry/trailer for a Welshie! I come from a non-horsey family and am only 18 so getting about with my mare is a bit of a difficult one! Maybe put an add up in your local equestrian store. I hope you find someone willing to help. x
 
I know, it's so frustrating. I keep putting up posts and things on websites but no luck so far. I don't even want a free ride, I will quite happily help out with costs, I just don't have enough money to get my own transport :(

But we'll keep hunting, good luck!
 
there is somewhere in bristol but i cant think what its called. There is a horsebox/van thing that drives round my way. w-s-m. but i cant remember the name of that either :-/ but the number wasnt local to me. sorry not much help at all!
 
Lol thanks, china :) There's one in bristol called Halycon Horsebox Hire and the bloke is lovely but it's just a bit far to go to borrow it for a day, which is why I keep hoping someone near me would start hiring hehe.

Idlp111 - yeah too far *le sigh*

I keep looking every month but it doesn't change, just hoping someone might suddenly say 'oh yeah, so and so down the road from you does it'. I'm always hoping.... :)
 
Kub it might be worth ringing ralph bailey in woolavington, I know he hires trailers but I was recently held up while they reversed in a couple of Equitrek 3.5T (he is main dealer for them) not sure if they were for customers but he might well hire, worth a bell anyway.

01278683913
as if he doesnt he might know someone that does.
 
Oh ester, you are a star! I will give him a ring tomorrow. I know he does trailer hire but didn't do 3.5t, but maybe he has branched out... Fingers crossed! :)
 
halycon are low cost and brilliant. ive used them and id use them again.
most companys have stopped hiring due to high insurance costs.
new laws re transporters have now made it harder
and it is now ILEGAL for anyone without a transporter licence to travel anyones horses for payment.
and they can have their lorry / trailer confiscated if caught it has happened to several people.
 
also to tow a railer u now need to take a trailer test if you past your test after a certain date(can't remember what year it goes by) think its about 7 yrs ago
