 What we offer;

Individual journeys catered to you and your horses needs. We are based in Suffolk and offer horse transport services throughout the UK, to and from Suffolk and Essex. Unless asked to we do not travel different owner’s horses together.

This ensures;

  •   Horses only travel the distance necessary with no unnecessary stops, detours or disturbances on their journey.
  •   The lorry can be set up to provide more room or the full width for those that like to travel at an angle.
  •   Your horse will not be exposed to other horses germs or infections.
  •   Your horse will not be upset by another that could be a bad traveller.

Please contact us for a quote.

Our quotes are worked out based on distance and time and will be competitive with other good transport companies. To insure, maintain the vehicle and cover costs, as well as make a living, is not cheap.    Be wary of very cheap quotes, there has to be something not getting full attention, you just don’t want it to be your horse!

 

Testimonials

  total confidence that the horses are always safe and well cared for....

I have used Abi Sinclair to transport my thoroughbred racehorses, mares and foals, for several years now. The service provided is both competent and cost effective, but more so; Abi gives us total confidence that the horses ( though by nature temperamental ) are at all times safe and well cared for. After using various transporters over 20 years, we can assure any potential clients, that Abi has been the best, in our experience and we continue to use her services to the exclusion of others.

  Abi ( Safe and Sound Horse Transport) is just amazing....

Abi ( Safe and Sound Horse Transport) is just amazing. I don’t have my own transport ( coming later in life to riding and competing I don’t go out enough to warrant it) so booking Abi to take me to a show means I can just concentrate on organising myself, horse and tack, clothes and essentials. A whole layer of stress is instantly removed. Abi turns up on time, is calm, professional and helpful if required. If you want to do it all yourself she will just be quietly in the background but who doesn’t love an extra pair of knowledgeable and experienced hands and even a reader for a dressage test? The lorry is clean and well maintained and I have no worries whatsoever regarding transport for my precious boy. Highly recommend. Caroline Vergo Caroline Vergo   |     |  

  I can confidently recommend Abi - although would really prefer to keep her a secret!...

Arranging transport to a show with my veteran mare for the first time with someone I hadn't met before was a little daunting, I had no idea what to expect. Abi arrived in plenty of time and was clearly more calm than me! I soon realised we were going to get on and enjoy the day together. Abi is reliable, calm, knowledgeable about horses and in horse handling, confident, supportive, a very good driver and good company in fact everything one could hope for. We have now had two outings and all has gone well. I can confidently recommend Abi - although would really prefer to keep her a secret! Heather Campbell Heather Campbell   |   Jan 22  |

Many problems with transport are due to a lack of practice or from a bad experience. Take some of the stress out of travelling for both you and your horse. Some of the benefits of practice sessions are:

  • Familiarising your horse to a lorry/trailer to make outings easier.
  • Young horses can learn to relax in a new environment.
  • The best solution for problem loaders.
  • No added stress of time limits.
