hi there.


does anyone know roughly how much it costs to transport a horse from the sales at goresbridge back to Berkshire??
thanks

i think its about £200 now. when you get there all the transport companys will be there in attendance. ask them which way they come back as some go to scotland and down, i used to use one that went to wales and then the horses only had a smaller journey to get to SE

3 yrs ago I got mine from Just north of Dublin to my yard (Nottingham) for £200 all inclusive. Seems to be the normal rate

Think we paid about £200 for Dunlops about 4 years ago (the last time we were there). Their service was absolutely fine.

The lorry was very large (12 horse I think), well ventilated with decent high ceilings.

Our horses arrived very tired (they were only 3 year olds - very long drive!). Otherwise bother were absolutely fine.

That was 600 for the pair both fine and dandy eating hay and enjoying a snooze they left Ireland at 6pm last night and arrived with me at 9am

Expensive - you pay per ft and it's usually well into £1200+

There is one recommendation for a transport company on here that I wouldn't touch with a very long barge pole. Most unprofessional.

Choose carefully, not just on price.
