Travel Safely Campaign

Many of us love to take our horses and ponies to new places, whether competing or hacking or going to the vet's, stud or even a new home. 

 

But how much attention do we pay to the transport we put them in ? and how we drive? how other people drive?

 

Several organisations have joined together for an one-stop event where you can find out about

how to "Travel Safely" (and legally!) with your horse

 

From police checks to passports to repairs to loading and driver training - it is all here!

The Equine Centre development has been designed to provide modern teaching facilities for equine students, and includes 70 stables, and an indoor arena, three outdoor arenas, horse walker, grass rides and cross country schooling fences.

The Equine Centre at Sparsholt College has been included within London 2012's Pre-Olympic Games Training Camp Guide.

Praised for its training of practical, instructional staff and stable managers, the British Horse Society-approved Equine Centre at Sparsholt College has become a regular venue for shows, dressage events and training hire, so popular are its facilities.

In a lot of cases the accidents are just that - everyone has done everything right, but it still happened.. so what do you do then ?

 

Using the demonstrations, display boards and their own experiences this team will show you the aftermath and simple measure to take for when the unthinkable happens to you

 

This team can help you, come and meet Jim Green, Anton Phillips and others from the Large Animal team

Lynn Chapman, Zoe Chipman and Sarah Weston are all Recommended Associates of Intelligent Horsemanship in the local area and they will be demonstrating loading techniques as well as having a stand at the event.

 Good loading techniques are particularly relevant to travelling horses safely as a quiet, calm manner and plenty of practise means that the horse is less likely to be worried about travelling.

Our Animal Health officers regularly visit farms, abattoirs, and transit points to check that the health of livestock is maintained. Livestock movements are checked and monitored so that animals can be quickly traced in the event of an outbreak of serious notifiable disease, such as foot and mouth or swine fever. We also inspect animal feed producers and test the quality of fertilisers and feeding stuffs.

 

Our information stand will be manned by officers from the Animal Health Section who can answer your questions regarding the movement of livestock, welfare of animals act, transportation and horse passports.  Numerous leaflets will be available.

The uniquely specialist equine division of PRP Rescue Services is being recognised in the new “Emergency Services Protocol” that is being developed jointly by the British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) and the Highways Agency. Whilst this initiative is still in its’ infancy, it will ultimately become the actionable protocol of choice for all emergency incidents (police, fire, ambulance etc.) involving highways and livestock with PRP Rescue Services as the sole livestock emergency provider:

Accidents, stray animals and other incidents can often shut major roads for hours, proving to be costly for not just those immediately involved, but also those caught up in the after effects. It is our belief that all incidents involving livestock should be overseen

All Horse boxes are required by Law to display stickers to describe the load they are carrying, eg. Horses, Cattle, Livestock and labels to show the liquid carried such as fuel, water, gas etc. We supply label packs of your choice. We also produce Postcode Letters and Numbers for trailers and caravans to reduce the chances of successful theft.                                                                                                                                   We are your one stop shop for all agricultural and equestrian safety signs. Following many visits to farms and equestrian businesses, and in conjunction with officers from the Hampshire Fire and Rescue Services who share our vision to protect agricultural establishments from the devastating effects of fire and potential loss of lives, livestock and livelihoods, we have developed and produced what we believe to be a comprehensive catalogue of safety signs and equipment to help the rural business operator. The Fire and Emergency Information Box is an essential item for all rural businesses to assist the Rescue Services and reduce the dangers for all.
