Horse transportation.

[Thesnowbones]

I am planning on transporting my 15.2 thoroughbred from Surrey to Edinburgh, Scotland in September. This would be about a 6 hour drive. I would ideally like to hire someone else to do it. Can anyone recommend good horse transportation companies?

Eric Gillie used to be very reputable when I was in the UK.

Eric Gillies Ltd sound like what you are looking for and have a fantastic reputation.

Gillies. They transported two of mine from Amsterdam to Glasgow via Newmarket a few years back and were fab.

I also used Gillies years ago to send a filly from Sussex to Scotland. They were excellent.

I highly recommend Roland Holmes Equine Transport, he is based in Scotland but travels up and down the country on a weekly basis, I have used him for the last 4 years to move my horse between home and university (Edinburgh - Aberystwyth in Wales) and he is great, will take most of your horses kit as long as he has space for it, it is only a 3 horse lorry so not loads of stops to drop others off, and he keeps you updated throughout the journey as to how your horse is travelling and where he is if you are meeting him at the other end, very reasonably priced also.
