We also operate as a strategic service station for the equestrian community along the M6 and A1 corridors, combining a modern, high-specification fleet with a team of highly experienced equine specialists. Our stabling facility in Carlisle serves as a secure "home away from home" for horses in transit. Whether we are handling high-value bloodstock or a family pony, our mission is to ensure every horse in our care arrives at their destination rested, hydrated, and in peak condition.
