Transporting 2 ponies from UK to Spain, Cadiz

[mik]

Anyone got any ideas recommendations of who to use (or DONT'S). These are my mums' ponies, we already live here with 2 nags so that part is OK.
Pm me if you prefer privacy!!!!
Thanks in advance.

I used a specialist company (John Parker) to transport a horse from Murcia to Berkshire. They understand the paperwork required, they've got fantastic lorries (artics, so being on a big road helps). They said they travel to Spain about once a fortnight.

Lorry is air conditioned and there are automatic drinking facilities so they get water all the way. Also, they have plenty of places wher they can stop off (as required by law) overnight. The partitions are padded too so they are carried gently on air-cushioned supension.

All you have to worry about is having somewhere soft and cosy for them to rest and relax for 24 hours after they arrive.

Last year it was about £800 door to door.

Brilliant, I'll give them a call, thank you.

I always used ECS, Kevin Scot is great, however he is not doing big loads any more, Ken Gamble has his run now I think. Either way, contact Kevin kevin@ecshorsetransport.com tell him I recommended him (Louise Lamb) and ask who you should use

Would recommend both of the above, I have personally used Parkers.
