scotslassie Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Fran, you dont say where you are leaving from or when? We have things to go but logistically might be a problem. You're not that far away in France - we border Dept 18 and 03 but are away v soon and live in Scotland..... As for the wagon - it looks great. I was never allowed one because of the plating being expensive here so had to make do with trailers. So long as the floors been replaced you should be fine!! I am always more worried about the horses! Join a breakdown service if you are worried about the long haul and cancel it when you get over or just leave it running - sometimes available as part of the insurance cover..... The best horses I ever had came via Irish dealers - they dont always sell lemons and your chap sounds fairly legit. I will keep my fingers crossed for your trip.
