Self Drive Horse box Hire, know of anywhere good?

[chocolate86]

I have just bought an adorable foal to bring on myself, he's 2 months old so waiting about another 3months for him to be weaned and then I can bring him home. Ive decided that a trailer would be a bad idea for transport so am looking into hiring a 3.5tonne little lorry so i can pick up my minature shetland (absolute sweetie and great traveller) to keep colt company on his first ever journey. I dont mind cost as im looking for the safest option for foaly. Any good companies in the surrey area would be greatfully received. (also willing to go into hampshire, berkshire or sussex for horsebox hire)

I used to use Horsepower Self Drive - 3rd one down on this site;

Not sure if they are still operating though, I heard that they had given up, but not sure so worth a ring.

Wentworth Horseboxes were recommended to me by several people on here, when I asked the same question. Haven't hired from them yet myself (have a lorry booked for August though and they seemed really nice on the phone).

Trevelyan horsebox hire were really helpful when a friend needed a box at short notice, but they only have a 7.5t in Surrey area.
