Terms and Conditions

Article 14 of the Welfare of Animals (Transport) Order 1997 requires that you provide the information requested below. Please also read the Terms and Conditions and sign to show you are in agreement with them.

1. You are liable to cover the cost of repairs to any damage caused by your horse. You have the opportunity to inspect the vehicle before departure and agree any damage, as arguments will not be entered into later. Any contents are your responsibility. The transport vehicle must be used in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
2. We are insured for care, custody and control up to a maximum of £10,000 per animal. Signing of these conditions confirms that you are happy with this maximum amount. We also advise that you insure your animal for transportation.
3. We advise that you place travel boots and a tail bandage on your horse for travelling.
4. The driver takes all reasonable precautions; however, in the event of an accident please note that you are personally liable for your horse in the event of injury or damage sustained to or by your horse.
5. Liability is not accepted for loss of entry fees or any other related expenses in the event of delayed or cancelled journeys for any reason.
6. Should it not be possible to load your horse, a callout fee will still be charged which will take account of the mileage already travelled and time taken in attempt to load your horse.
7. Should your horse be very unsettled we reserve the right to refuse to transport the animal and a callout fee will still be payable. If your horse becomes unsettled during transit then we reserve the right to sedate your horse and/or call out an emergency vet to sedate your horse if we deem the situation necessary. You will be liable for any veterinary expenses and any delay incurred at £15ph.
8. You are personally liable for your horse during transport. Please ensure your horse has a passport, and if possible, give a copy to the transporter.
9. Should your horse take longer than half an hour to load, an additional charge of £15 per hour will be charged.
10. Payment is due on the day of transport. Payment can be made by cheque (with banker's card up to the limit of the card) or by cash.
