A new emergency service is being launched for people travelling with their horses.

Free to join, this is a network of equestrian people who are prepared to “come to the rescue” for other members stranded with their horses.

Vice-versa, equestrian people can now access a network of people to call upon for assistance when they are out and about with their horses and run into trouble.

Equestrian people have, until now, not had a free-to-join road-side assistance or call-out network for when they find themselves stranded, either by the roadside, or at a venue away from home. Whether it’s a flat battery, flat tyre, or needing a fellow member to collect their horses from the roadside, now there is a support network to take the stress out of travelling.
 
Membership is easy – simply complete a brief form online. Each month, an updated list will be distributed to members.

The websites are

Members can provide feedback on their experiences with other members too using the Feedback Form.
