We finally did it. Some people saw my post explaining the difficulty we were having with just about everything!! A vet who would do the DEFRA paper work a transporter. We always do cross channel ourselves but wanted her shipped from Stafford to south for collection. Thank you Laafet and other people on this forum who helped us.
We had issued the paperworkt to Carlisle once and had to cancel it after a transporter told us they could no longer bring her south. In the end my husband and a friend collected her last Wednesday. She left at 4.00pm, was on the ferry at 11.00pm and here before 9.00am the following morning.
This 20 year old mare is dam to one of my Cleveland Bay mares and we are her 8th and last home. After suitable isolation worming and a temp. check we put her out with her daughter, who she had not seen for 15 years. After 'mum' had explored the paddock boundaries they approached each other with caution, talking to each other. Mum sniffed her daughter very carefully then started to lick her. They are so happy together and we are so happy this old lady won't move house again. She is such a lovely mare.
I cannot seem to reduce photos for this forum but pics of them both on RaceRare and Cleveland Bay Open Forum FB pages.
