1 I am younger than 25/ older than 70 can I still drive your lorry.
Mostly
yes, we contact our insurers and they will contact the underwriters
usually there will be a small
fee to pay.
2 Can I have more than 1 driver.
Yes we can add 1 additional
driver for no extra cost.
3 I passed my test after 1997 can I still drive the lorry
Yes you can our lorries are all 3.5 tonn therfor there are no restrictions and
no need to take
any additional test.
4 Will the lorry carry a 17.2
Yes the lorries
will carry even up to 18hh but are restricted on weight
they have a max carrying capacity of
up to 1050kg for the Sonic and 1450kg for the Super Sonic Most big horses
ie 16.2
THoroughbred will weigh from approx 500kgl
5 My horse is not a good traveller
in a trailer will he travel better in a box.
Because all of our lorries are
rear facing this has been proven to aid more
comfortable stress free travelling.
It is worth noting that our horseboxes have been chosen because of
their safety features, most 2 stall boxes allow the horses heads to look over into the living area, this is
not the case with our horseboxes and the living is completley seperate which means if a horse were
to get upset it would not be able to rear up and get stuck in the livig area ( see Horse and hound
report 29/10/09) in additon our horseboxes have full long low ramps not split ramps and have
loading doors , if you look at many other manufacturers this is not always the case.

Are there any hidden charges ?.
For a
1 day hire the price starts at £99.00, this includes full insurance cover
Equestrian
Support Services Breakdown cover and we send the lorry out with
a full
tank of deisel, we ask that the tank is returned full.
7 When can I pick up the lorry / trailer
as I have an early start
Wherever possible we allow you to pick up the
lorry/ trailer the evening before
we therefor ask that if you are likely to be any later than 8pm that
we are
made aware at the time of booking so that we can give the the next
customers
a realistic pick up time particularly in the summer when all lorries
are out.
.
8 Can I state which lorry I want to take out.
We are unable to
guarantee which lorry we will have available, they are all 2
stall rear facing lorries
and will do exactly the same job.
9. I am unable to keep my booking will
I loose my deposit ?
We understand particularly with horses that things can
go wrong at the
last minute, therefor as part of being fully flexible we allow you to carry
your deposit over to another date this must be redeemed within 6 months.
All cancellations must
be made within 72 hours in order to carry over
your deposit.
