I would go and then arrange transport if you do see something, theres normally people at sales who will transport for you.

The Legal Requirements
1 Operators Licence-either green (international) or blue (national only) discs usually displayed above the road fund licence. The discs have the operators licence number, expiry date, registration number of the lorry and the transporters company. You can check the validity of the licence number on www.vosa.gov.uk
2 DEFRA Licence-this is a licence given by DEFRA to show that we are competent at transporting horses. There are 2 types of Licence-TYPE 1 and a TYPE 2. A TYPE 1 licence shown as T1 on the licence only allows horses to be travelled up to 8 hours. The time is taken from when the 1st horse is loaded and the last horse has been unloaded. A TYPE 2 Licence is for over 8 hours and not more than 12 hours in UK only and a LONG JOURNEY CERTIFICATION is for over 12 hours and INTERNATIONAL. The transporter has to carry the new licence on board the lorry and the certification-there is also a metal plate (usually placed next to the chassis plate) on the lorry to prove that the lorry is legal for transport. You can get up to date information from:-
http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/welfare/farmed/transport/eu-transportreg.htm#journ
3 Hire and Reward Insurance-this is just a standard insurance required to transport for money-just like a taxi company has to insure for business use in case of an accident. This insures the lorry only and any third party vehicle-nothing else!!
4 Employers Liability Insurance-just as a shop has to have this so does a lorry. It insures you when you step on the lorry, any of your staff that travel with the horse etc.
5 Public Liability Insurance-this insures all equipment that you place on the lorry-such as tack, rugs, etc.
6 Care, Custody and Control Insurance-this insures horses on the lorry whilst in the care of the transporter.
CHECK WITH YOUR TRANSPORTER THAT THEY HAVE ALL 6 LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
ALL OF THESE DOCUMENTS MUST BY LAW BE CARRIED ON THE LORRY FOR CHECKING BY THE AUTHORITIES. A LEGAL TRANSPORTER WILL BE HAPPY TO SHOW YOU THESE DOCUMENTS.
YOU AND YOUR HORSE ARE AT RISK IF ANY ONE OF THE ABOVE ARE MISSING!
DO NOT USE THE TRANSPORTER!
