Horse Haul

18 February 10

Just to say thank you for picking up our new horse Duchess. We were really impressed by the standard of your service and the care and attention given to our horse. She has settled in really well and I am sure that her stress free transport was fundamental to this. I really appreciated your advice and wisdom and would not hesitate to recommend you in the future.

Kind Regards

Judy

Snow What!

14 January 10

Snow

Left to play with the traffic on the M6 near Stafford, abandoned, alone, hungry and frightened. Fortunately for this very brave little pony the Highways Agency contacted rescue services, very quickly needaride was mobilised.

We named him Snow, old, emaciated and covered in masses of matted wooly curly hair, swollen gums and broken teeth, infestation of lice and (believe it or not) cockroach’s.

Despite his distress he was delighted to see us. He’s now in safe, capable, and caring hands after several consultations from the vet, much grooming, visits from the farrier, buckets of cooked carrots, plenty of feed and hay, friends to play with, his own paddock to graze in, he has slowly and gently been nursed back to health. Such a gent, impeccable manners, a child’s dream pony!

Your slippers and pipe are not quite ready for you yet!

Good luck Snow Whenever you need a ride, needaride will be there.

How long is the horses breeding season?

14 January 10

foal

As long as the stallion's horny! The horse breeding and reproduction process, starts with horse mating to provide a pregnant mare. This is just the beginning, caring for your pregnant horse to the mare foaling, takes the next eleven months or approximately 340 days.

The natural horse breeding season of the mare is during the summer, for some breeds, notably the thoroughbred, an operational breeding season exists  from 15 February until the first week of July. This “man-made season means that many breeders try to get mare in foal from the middle of February onwards.

Subject to examination to confirm readiness of your breeding mares, you will need to book your horse transport to and from the stud early, as the equine breeding season can get very busy.

Needaride have designated Stallion boxes on board as well as separate mare and foal boxes to ensure careful delivery and return. Remember to contact us early to avoid disappointment.

Good Luck
