horse transport - southern Milton Keynes area

[star]

Recently moved to area, having left Surrey and my friendly local transporters. Need to get pony out to shows again now he is mended (touch wood!). Looking for self hire 3.5 tonner or lorry/trailer with driver. Based in Little Brickhill, just south of Milton Keynes.

Cheers

I'm pretty sure these guys have an office either in Midsummer Boulevard or Silbury Boulevard?

Howard Forest is excellent but expensive (does a lot of racehorse transport) and I have heard that David Mansbridge is good

No idea on transport but you live 4 miles from me so..... *waves*

Not sure that David does self hire though, or a 3.5 lorry. Have you looked in Chiltern Rider?

if lorry comes with driver, then dont mind how big it is. so far, cheapest i've found is £100 a day plus diesel self-drive 3.5tonner from Trevelyan self-drive.

I actually live in Olney, but horse is in Little Brickhill - not been here long, but currently enjoying the gorgeous hacking in Aspley Woods - heaven compared to some of my old yards!

dunno about doing any more dressage on him. haven't actually taken him back in a school yet, but he is back doing up to 2hrs hacking in all paces, so hoping to get him to some showing and then maybe the odd dressage for fun, but nothing competitive as i wont take him back to Elem and he's out of Novice points. I just cant risk him breaking again.

I really struggled to find anywhere for him when I moved up here - I thought it would be really horsey, but there doesn't seem to be many yards. Ended up in a friend of a friend's field because I need grass livery and hardly anywhere offers that.
