What a difference six months makes! The first time we transported Vara six months ago she was very reluctant to load and we had to allow an extra hour just to make sure that we had enough time. She likes to do things in her own time and, if you hurry her or put too much pressure on her she will shut down and plant. It is also essential that she doesn’t have an audience as she gets distracted quite easily. Over the months, taking these things into consideration, her loading time has decreased with each trip and we are now down to five minutes (hopefully we haven’t jinxed it 😂).

Yesterday Vara loaded up for a short trip over to Ousterley Farm Equestrian and Arena Hire where they had a fabulous jumping lesson. Vara loves to jump! Thankfully the rain held off for most of the lesson and they finished on a good note, just as the heavens opened.

A fabulous day out yesterday for Kate and Princess at Ivesley Equestrian Centre’s last Hunter Trial and Show Cross of 2026. They achieved a fabulous and well deserved 3rd place in the 55cm Senior Show Cross! Well done!

Yesterday we had a very special little passenger on board the unicorn:- it was Timmy from tinytimsadventueres! At 6hh, and only 15 months old, he is really, really tiny…and incredibly cute!

The initial booking was to transport a pony to a birthday party…but then we discovered that it was a birthday party for a 4 year old, and that Timmy was to be a unicorn! We are sure that you will agree that there is no better way to get a tiny unicorn to a birthday party other than in the beautiful Bloomfields Horseboxes unicorn horsebox 🦄

Timmy was a rescue pony and has a really amazing story behind him. If you pop over to his page, you can follow his adventures as he starts his new life as a therapy pony.

What were we doing on Saturday? Moving the Shetlands back to their winter grazing of course! We shudder at the thought, but we have had to use the “W” word already! Yes, it is a month earlier than they would normally move, but the heat and lack of rain this summer has drastically reduced their normally lush summer grazing.

We just love the cuteness overload with these girls!

Would it even be a bank holiday Monday without a call out from Equine Rescue Services? Today’s job involved collecting these two gorgeous ponies from their broken down truck and trailer and getting them home safely. Unfortunately they never made it to the beach but the boys (one is a four year old stallion) loved their first ride in a horsebox! The older of the two can object to loading in a trailer but decided that a horsebox was far more his style and marched straight on! Their owner just might be putting in a call to Bloomfields Horseboxes tomorrow. As we like to say:- Life is too short to accept second best. Just buy the horsebox 😉

This is a prime example of why we keep a waiting list for dates that are fully booked. On Thursday evening we received a very late cancellation for a booking on Sunday. Our admin team sprung into action and contacted the first name on the list of seven people needing transport…and just like that, the spot was filled.

Lorenzo had a fabulous day at the Tyne and Wear Dressage Championships at Highfield House Stables bringing home two fifth places in his Intro classes and two second places in his Prelim classes. His owner gets full marks for managing four back to back tests! Not an easy feat by any means!

We then had a box return back to base just in time to answer a call for Equine Rescue Services, collecting a horse from the busy A1 near Bowburn Services. Many thanks to Highways England for closing the road in both directions to facilitate a safe transfer on a busy bank holiday weekend.

We took Bella and Ginger over to Hexham yesterday for the Derwent Riders Summer Pleasure Ride. It had been raining when we set out and, although we desperately need rain, we were keeping our fingers crossed for nicer conditions for the ride - it could rain all it wanted afterwards 😂. The weather did not disappoint and the sun came out in full force as we turned into Hexham from the motorway. The ride was beautifully organised, the scenery was breathtaking, and fun was had by all!

Yesterday it was time for a change of postcode for Smokey, Polly, Zita and Daniel. The quickest way to their new location was extremely twisty and hilly, so we devised a route that, although slightly longer, avoided many of the extreme hills and sharp bends - something that is important on any journey but even more so as Daniel is just a baby. It’s these early journeys which will shape his desire to willingly load and travel in the future.

It was lovely to see everyone again!
