I had the pleasure of taking this gorgeous old boy home yesterday after rushing him into hospital Saturday night.
Definitely the best part of this job 🥰

This…..

“It’s only 15 minutes up the road”
…said absolutely everyone, everywhere, nearly every day. 🤣🐴

So here’s a little reality check for anyone wondering why horse transport isn’t £20 and a packet of polos.
Let’s talk what actually goes into getting your horse from A to B safely, legally and professionally:

🚚 The Transporter Itself
- £60K per lorry + VAT (at least for proper new build horseboxes) - I have 5 of them...
- Finance payments / cash owned lorries @£250K +
- Depreciation

⛽ Fuel
- Spoiler alert: diesel isn’t free
- Ever watched the fuel gauge drop when pulling 600kg of “I don’t wanna load today”? 👀

🪪 Insurance (the fun part)
- Fully comp business vehicle insurance
- Hire & Reward insurance
- Public liability
- Care, custody & control
- Try 10K a year to be covered on multiple lorries CORRECTLY with PROPER INSURERS.

🛠 Maintenance & Repairs
- Tyres (£150–£300 each)
- Servicing
- MOT's
- Vehicle time off the road when back for warranty repairs
- “your horse tap-danced on the ramp hinges” repairs

📞 Admin & Compliance
- Operator licences
- DEFRA licensing
- Training & qualifications
- Booking management
- Paperwork that nobody sees but everyone needs

⌚ Time
- Driving time
- Loading time
- Waiting time
- The “your horse reversed the other way for 20 minutes” time

🐴 Horse Welfare
- Bedding
- Clean-out between trips
- Emergency equipment
- Calm, experienced handlers (that alone should cost £1m)

…and all of that BEFORE we even start the engine.

So when someone says:
➡️ “It’s only 15 minutes up the road…”
What we actually hear is:
➡️ “Please bring £60k+ worth of specialist equipment, years of experience, and assume all responsibility for my horse… and do it for a tenner.” 😂👏
