As we have taken several trips down to the New Forrest lately we thought we would publish some info on the native breed to that area:

The New Forest Pony is one of the recognised mountain and moorland or native pony breeds of the British Isles. Height varies from around 12 hands (48 inches, 122 cm) to 14.2 hands (58 inches, 147 cm); all heights should be strong, workmanlike, and of a good riding type. They are valued for hardiness, strength, and surefootedness.

The breed is indigenous to the New Forest in Hampshire in southern England, where equines have lived since before the last Ice Age; remains dating back to 500,000 BC have been found within 50 miles (80 km) from the heart of the modern New Forest. Many breeds have contributed to the foundation bloodstock of the New Forest pony, but today only ponies whose parents are both registered as purebred in the approved section of the stud book can be registered as purebred. The New Forest pony can be ridden by children and adults and can be driven in harness.

Ponies grazing on the New Forest are owned by New Forest commoners – people who have "rights of common of pasture" over the Forest lands; an annual marking fee is paid for each animal turned out to graze. The population of ponies on the Forest has fluctuated in response to demand for youngstock. Numbers fell to fewer than 600 in 1945 but have since risen steadily, and thousands now run loose in semi-feral conditions.

One of the most affordable ways to transport your horse throughout the UK is to find a profesional horsetransporter who is doing a horse transport trip in a similar area for pick up and drop off as you require your horse transporting to and from... this happens more than you would think, have a look at our facebook page events to check what we have available (or just give us a call on 07920875145)

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
