Nicos Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 We are thinking of taking our horse from Cheshire to the Suisse Normande.I'm sure some of you have experience of transporting a horse across the channel??Any idea of the cost involved, best route ( ??tunnel being kinder??). Stop offs (??B&B or rest periods).We have no transport of our own - so what do you suggest please?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floella Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 We use Sky Horse Transport run and owned by Philip Hirst (endurance rider). He is based in Mid - Wales but picks up all over and delivers regularly throughout France. I cannot recommend him enough and if you use google you will find the details. Our 30 year old mare looked as if she had come no more than five miles down the road on arrival. Plus we had a nervous loader and Philip takes as much time as the horse needs. I would use him every time. He does not quote silly prices and stays with the horses during the crossing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicos Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 Really kind of you to offer!I'm more worried about Fergus than anything else concerning our move!He's 17 and we've had him 11 yrs and needs careful shoeing. Bit of a headbanger too!!![:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
