[Hampshire Chronicle] Firefighters were called after a horsebox turned over following a road traffic collision near Winchester. The incident occurred at 2.41pm on Sunday (July 27) involving two vehicles, one of which was towing the animal.

Three crews – from Basingstoke, Winchester and Overton – arrived at Stratton Crossover, southbound on the M3, to find the box on its side with the horse still inside.

The animal was attended to by the Animal Rescue Unit from Lyndhurst but was not hurt.

This superb example is only 4 years old and is in superb condition and only used a total of 10 times due to the owner having back problem and is now moving to a 3.5 tonne horsebox.

It was made to the owners exacting specification with a most of optional extras fitted. Originally priced at well over £13,000 from Equi-Trek. The stylish Show-Treka horse trailer carries two horses, rear facing in safety and comfort with a totally separate living area fitted with kitchen and seats which converts into bunks for overnight stays.

In addition, the Show-Treka horse trailer also has safety ramp gates for safer loading and rear facing travel for the comfort of your horse. The ramp on the offside makes it safer for loading as it prevents the handler getting trapped between horse and the trailer wall due to leading from the near side, plus less chance of been unable to drop the ramp due to obstruction such as under a bridge or against a high bank. In addition, the low, wide side ramp eliminates the chance of the horse flying backwards once loaded and making it much safer for one person to load a horse when alone.

[Equihunter] After a fire at a yard in Swanley in Kent, there has been an appeal for any help that fellow equestrians can offer, in providing emergency supplies as the fire has been described as destroying everything.

NEW UPDATE: ‘We are literally left with just a field’- Swanley stable destroyed after fire causes £50,000 of damage

The Kent Fire & Rescue Service posted this operational update at 8:00 p.pm. last night (9th July)…. Straw bales and stable alight in Gilden Hill Road, Swanley, Four fire engines and a bulk water carrier in attendance.

Crews are currently tackling a fire involving approximately 50 straw bales and stable block on Gilden Hill Road in Swanley.

Six horses have been led to safety by firefighters. There are no reports of any injuries and the cause of the fire is currently unknown.

Georgi Honnor from the yard posted this plea on Facebook this morning in the BSJA Group for any help that could be offered…..

“Urgent help needed! Our yard, Swanley Village went up in flames in an attack we are treating as suspicious after a burglary earlier in the week. We have lost everything our yard is no more, blaze has wiped everything including fencing, stables, feed, rugs, headcollars even water troughs we have nothing and 31 horses including 2 mares with young foals. 

Any donation of anything horsey would be greatly appreciated as we have literally lost everything.

Georgi’s woes have been further added to when she commented that the “Yard owner is on holiday and trying to get back, couldn’t be worse of a nightmare ….”

If you can offer any assistance the link to the original post is here…. Georgi Honnor’s post in BSJA
