YEW TREE
HORSE TRANSPORT
Information.
I have been transporting horses and other pet animals for over 20 years, I have had a lot of experience in loading and travelling horses of every shape and size and my calm patient approach works where others may have failed.
I have a HGV class 1 (Artic) licence which I have held for more years than I care to remember and have been employed in that industry previously for some years.
I own a livery yard with 30 plus horse's from DIY to full livery, from Shetland to Shire. I have competed in eventing, show jumping and dressage, although time does not allow that now, I now ride for pleasure when I get chance.
I specialise in individual care and attention to you, the customer and your animals, I do not do multi drop work. Therefore I am under no time pressure, and your horse does not travel any longer than necessary. I prefer to offer an individually tailored first class service which is sympathetic and professional.
Which means that I can also take all your animal's related belongings such as feed bins, rugs etc' and you can be assured that your animals will arrive at their destination safely, no matter if it is a local or a long distance journey.

Hi Veronica. just a short message to say a huge thankyou for
getting my old boys and girl back to the Uk . I was so relieved when you texted
me to say you were at the port and they were fine . Then when my husband called
me the next day to say they had arrived and looked great and were happy , I was
so very pleased . I cannot thank you enough ... you are so very competent at
your job and I will recommend you to anyone who needs horse transport. Once
again thank you best regards from Juliette Collins
Bonjour, Veronica I finally have time to drop you a thank you mail
now that the chaos has subsided a little.
Finally we have new stables, post and rail, and new five bar gates, so the
clippty clops are now in luxury.
Ménage to be built next year.
Big bob (still 900kg) is well and penny and rosie the pony still cant stop
eating.
The service you provided was first rate, right from the outset putting our minds
at rest, your flexibility was
fantastic especially when two horses changed to three at last minute!!
Despite 'Bob' having to take 2 stalls (as he is only 4 meters long nose to
tail), causing you to reconfigure your
truck, it was all in a days work. This was of course compounded by me asking you
to take my entire tack shed
including barrows, rubber mats, mountain bikes, tables, as well as saddles, rugs
and even hay.
I think you said your truck was at 10 ten so no mean feet. And thanks for
helping to load & unload!!
The horses arrived in fab condition despite what was their longest ever journey.
The old saying you get what you pay for rings true, a bespoke service that took
the pain and grief out of our own
family move. So thank you for not just moving my horses and tack room but for
the reassurance and expert
professional service not forgetting the paperwork!!. No stress just happy
horses.
Many thanks

Germany to U.K.
I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for your wonderful care and service. The horses have settled in very well (apart from being extremely frisky!) and took no time at all to recover from the journey. As you are well aware, I was very concerned about their trip. No need at all to worry!! Next time I/we move, we will be contacting you again!

Thank you for your help on Saturday. It was probably one of your shortest journeys, but it was worth every penny. Monty has settled really well and he even had his tea in the stable tonight.
Again thank you ever so much
Lindsey and Monty (and everyone else who didn't get killed!).

Thank you for ferrying us safely and considerately to Lower Buckton and the seaside. It was nice to leave the horses in your "safe hands" so we could enjoy the holiday. I would certainly recommend your business to my friends.

Hi Veronica
Thank you SO much for taking such good care of my nine monsters miniatures in
the move to
Normandy. They have all settled in extremely well, even Zebedee has finally
stopped stomping around yelling at everyone.
Little 'Bitzy' has fully recovered from his major journeying half way round
the world and sends a big kiss for looking after him on his arrival from the
USA. He is now bestest pals with Storm, the little buckskin yearling colt.
Thanks again Veronica, you are a star!

Dear Veronica,
This is just to say a great big thank you for moving darling Becky & Allegro from Surrey to Shropshire so safely & well. They couldn't have wished for a better journey. They have both settled so well in their new home.
Many thanks once again Steph' Debbie & Lauren.
Dear Veronica,
Just a quick note to thank you and your son for the excellent service we received regarding the transport of our two cats from England to Brittany, France. They are now settled here and very happy to be in their new home. Thank you so much for all the care and attention you gave them during their journey, we really felt as though you treated them as your own pets and this made the long journey so much more pleasant for them.
You are to be praised for your professionalism in the face of adversity, not many people could take missing the ferry and a consequent all night drive so positively!
Many many thanks for all your help. A thoroughly excellent and friendly service from start to finish. All the best for the future.
Shelly Sauvignet.
Dear Veronica and team,
I would like to say thank you so much for making our move from Wales to Ireland
a totally stress free experience.
I was dreading moving the animals, horse, donkey, cats and hamster, but you have
a wonderful way with animals and put their needs first and foremost. They
all arrived at our new address calm and happy.
Thank you
Best Wishes

Hi Veronica
Just wanted to thank you for the marvellous job you did delivering Beau Diddly (Bremimi Black Beauty) to France, I will definitely be recommending your services to anyone I know travelling equines to and from the continent. Sorry I can't do anything about the narrow lanes around here, but I hope you didn't have too much trouble after you left us.
Thanks again
