A little reassurance from EJL Stud & Livery 🐴
We’ve recently become aware of concerns regarding a local horse transport company potentially operating without the correct legal requirements in place.
We wanted to take this opportunity to reassure our customers that EJL Stud & Livery takes the safety, welfare and security of every horse we transport extremely seriously.
✅ APHA Type 1 Transporter Licence — we hold the correct licence for our transport operations and always have done.
✅ Correct insurance for transport for reward — our insurance is specifically in place for carrying horses commercially and is provided by NFU.
✅ Professional insurance cover — the horses travelling with us are covered under our professional insurance and is provided by NFU with £10m of liability.
✅ Breakdown cover — should we ever experience a vehicle issue, our breakdown cover provides for the onward journey to your destination, so your horse isn’t simply left stranded or sent anywhere other than where the horse was going.
Our transport box is bespoke built and only 2 years old, designed with horse welfare and safety at its heart:
🐴 CCTV
🌡️ Temperature control within the horse area
💨 5 sources of ventilation in the horse area
🛡️ Fully padded throughout
🐎 Stallion box
🐴 Optional mare & foal partition
💧 Water always carried onboard for the horses
And most importantly, we’ve been providing our transport services for 7 years, with consistently 5-star reviews from our customers.
We believe that when you put your horse in someone else’s care, you should have complete confidence that they’re travelling with a properly licensed, insured and professional transporter.
Your horse’s safety isn’t something we compromise on. ❤️
Thank you to everyone who continues to trust EJL Stud & Livery with their horses.
