Lovely testimonial from Maggie and Angus Brown from the island of Eday in Orkney..

"Thank you Roland and Duncan for organising and achieving a faultless pick up and delivery of our herd of 6 (including 1 donkey) from Eday to Brora. Donk is already a firm favourite with the neighbours 😆. Professional, patient and friendly as always. Angus and Maggie"

Happy 32nd birthday "Lica". Still hard to believe that you're not 10yr old because you still act like you are.lol. Enjoying the quieter life and hoping many more to come. :)

Thank you soo much Roland Holmes Horse Transport for helping to organise the safe journey of our superstar pony Miami Bound back from Norway to Scotland for his retirement with us. In less than a week Roland made the journey plan possible because there was a lot of paperwork to organise. ETA Horse Transport were excellent in helping make this straightforward and collected him from Norway along with his bridle and feed. They were also really good at keeping us informed of how he was doing during the journey.

Roland Holmes took such good care of him and even made sure his journey was as short as possible and as comfortable as he would if he was one of his own horses. This is the second time I have asked Roland to help with transport and I would wholeheartedly recommend him for someone who wants their horse well taken care of and looked after.

I really can't say how thankful I am to have him back safe and sound!

Driving Horseboxes to the London International Horse Show 🚛ℹ️

We are delighted to be hearing of so many riders qualifying for the Show later this year, we thought now would be a good time to share with you some very useful information about driving Horseboxes to ExCel London to help you with your preparations well in advance…

Have you checked:
☑️Your planned route
☑️Your vehicle against the L*Z and UL*Z emission standards
☑️Direct Vision Standard and HGV Safety Permit

The Transport for London Check your vehicle link: https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/check-your-vehicle/ will help competitors check if their vehicle meets the emissions and safety standards required to drive in London.

ℹ️ A well planned route may help you to avoid some charges.

ℹ️ If your vehicle is not exempt from charges, it may be more cost effective to share the journey with another competitor or use an alternative smaller/newer vehicle.

ℹ️ National competitors coming to the London International Horse Show are allowed to stay in horseboxes overnight further helping to reduce costs of coming to the Show. Please note there will be no hook-up or shower facilities available.

See previous transport post for more information, or check online via the Transport For London website.
