My favorite work is always going to be with the thorough bred horses, I have a real passion for them and have bred and trained some of my own… two of which are still on my partner’s livery yard with their new owners who adore them!

Horse transport for Thorough bred mares going to a stallion is in high demand as AI is not allowed in the racing industry. The mare has to be covered “naturally” by the stallion and due to the extremely high value of both horses the covering process is  somewhat of an artform. The mare gets scanned to check if she is at the right stage in her cycle, the stud contact the horse transporter and give him a rough estimate of when the mare will need to go to the stallion. This is followed up with another scan to ensure the mare is definitely ready to go to the stallion and when she is the horse transporter has to take her to the stallion straight away.

A tricky business for horse transport but fantastic work none the less!

Today I took a beautiful bay mare from beechwood grange stud to a stallion standing in Newmarket at Cheveley Park stud.

A local rider had decided to take her horse (in her own horsebox) to a competition, however while traveling along the A1 a warning light came on the dash and she pulled over, the horsebox then failed to restart… being an organized and experienced horse owner who transported herself to and from many shows / events all over the UK, she had her documents with her to contact her breakdown cover that she had through her horsebox insurance… however to her shock and horror this only covered recovery of the vehicle (with no livestock allowed onboard) To recover the horse she had onboard she was quoted 500 to 800 pounds to pick the horse up and return it to her yard. (This was a quote from her insurers, not us)

As a local transport company we attend a lot of breakdowns where owners assume they have breakdown cover for their horsebox and that this includes the recovery of their horse(S) and are disappointed to find out it dose not. It is a good idea to check this and if the cover is lacking to make alternative arrangements in advance.

Luckily for our local rider she gave us a call and we were able to take a hire horsebox to her yard for her father to drive to recover her horse and she was even able to attend her event and return the box the next day after a well deserved rest after what must have been a very stressful situation… and for just 80 Pounds +VAT quite a saving on the original quote!

Robertson Horse Transport also offer a driven recovery service, with prices starting from 70 pounds +VAT please keep our number in your horsebox if you are travelling in the Yorkshire/ Lincolnshire / Derbyshire or midlands area 07920875145
