Getting to the vet quickly matters
Fast transport can be critical in serious cases. The British Horse Society highlights that delays in referral situations can affect outcomes.
- Emergency transport is about safe, calm movement during stressful times.
- UK horse transport isn’t simple
- Horseboxes and trailers require skill to drive safely, and horses must be considered throughout the journey.
The British Horse Society also advises checking breakdown cover includes both your vehicle and horse, as many policies don’t.
