[Independant] A horsebox has caught fire on a major road near Cambridge, sending flames shooting more than 20ft into the air.

A terrified horse was rescued from the vehicle by its owner and left standing on the carriageway of the A14, which was closed at the Histon exit.

The horse and its owner are safe and no injuries have been reported  

Photos taken by drivers showed the blaze taking hold at the front of the vehicle, engulfing the cab completely.

Two crews of firefighters from the Cambridge Fire and Rescue Service had to wear breathing apparatus to battle the flames, which was brought under control within 45 minutes.

A spokesperson for Cambridgeshire Constabulary said police were called to the fire at 2.20pm.

[Daily Mail] This is the dramatic moment eight people worked together to rescue a horse that was stuck in a pond.

The animal, named Diego, wandered down to the brown, murky water in the village of Shipley in West Sussex to have a drink.

But after cooling down, it found it was unable to climb up the pond’s steep grass bank.

The horse's owner is pictured with the animal after it was dragged on to a small ledge beside the bank. Image Daily Mail / SWNS.com

Its owner called the RSPCA after spotting the brown horse ‘stumbling and tripping’ as it desperately tried to escape from the water.

Two RSPCA officers then worked with six firefighters to rescue the animal last Wednesday afternoon.

The horse was rescued from a pond in the village of Shipley (pictured) in West Sussex, just off the A272

[Equihunter] Team Equihunter has come of age as this year sees the final one that our sponsored Rider Libby can compete in ponies.

Libby-Pycombe-April-2012-6 (Large)

Brownie: Another win at Pyecombe

Because we’ve moved on to horses for 2015, we sadly now have to part company with this lovely pony that have been part of our team’s successful competition life for the past 2+ years.

BROWNIE…

BROWNIE – GREY GELDING

Green Papered Class 1 Connemara

14.2 hh

Age: 12 years

£8,350
Name of Horse: BROWNIE
Height: 14.2 hh
Breed: Connemara
Sex: Gelding
Colour: Grey
Location: South East
Owner: Lorraine Newman
Contact Number: 07796 488996

Brownie has been an absolute pleasure to own and work with, always giving 100%. He has taken Libby from jumping 90cms to 1.10m with scope to go on and recently jumped his first ‘Members’ cup.

Brownie works in a relaxed correct outline on the flat and has three uphill paces.

He has mainly competed in British Show Jumping with our team but has also taken part in Pony Club & School Teams as well and is an absolutely fantastic cross country pony, happily jumping all coloured, natural fences and water ditches etc., without any problems

Brownie delivers a lovely dressage test and is a true gentleman to hack out on his own or in company remaining totally calm, he is never strong.

He is good to shoe, clip, and for the dentist and he is fully up to date with vacs and physio

Very sadly for sale as Libby has now outgrown him and has also been concentrating on her GCSE’s

For us it is an extremely sad sale and an extra special competitive home is required for this talented little lad who would perfectly suit a child coming off 128’s or 138’s.

He would also make a top class pony club pony.

For more information, please contact Lorraine on 07796 488996 or Chris on 07904 818389

Equi-Trek Show Treka L For Sale in Metallic Astral Black

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. These horse trailers also has a separate lockable tack locker that can be accesses from the outside of the trailer.

EquiTrek Show Treka L For Sale in Metallic Astral Black2

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.

[This is Wiltshire] Stable lads from Manton have received counselling after their horsebox was involved in a horrific motorway crash in which two people and a horse died.

The accident scene on the M11 on Thursday. Two people and a pony died. Picture:This Is Wiltshire

The horsebox from Brian Meehan’s yard was badly damaged in the crash on the M11 on Thursday afternoon as it travelled to an evening meeting at Newmarket.

Mr Meehan, who has trained on the Sangster-owned estate since 2006, said: “The whole thing has been a terrible shock to our yard and it will take a while for people to fully recover. Our Paint Pony Pistolero died on Thursday evening at the Newmarket Equine Hospital.

“Although he was called a Paint Pony that is actually a breed of horse in America he was actually 16.2 hh horse that had been with us for eight years.

“He was used to settle our race horses both at home and on the course. He was a great character.

“He was Western-trained and was a treat to ride and children, in particular, used to love him. He was, without doubt, one of our stable stars, and we shall all miss him greatly.”

“The staff on board the box were traumatised and in a state of shock after the accident.

“It was an horrific incident on the motorway and we would like to send our sincerest condolences to the families of the people who lost their lives.They are foremost in our thoughts.”

His four male stable lads and the horsebox driver have now received counselling from experts from Racing Welfare and are back at work.

Pony straddled over horsebox partition: H&H

[Horse and Hound] A horse owner from West Sussex is urging other riders to take care when loading their horses, after an accident in a horsebox.

The pony became stuck over the partition

Bank Holiday plans for a sunny hack went disastrously wrong for owner Paige Howard whose pony became stuck over the partition in his horsebox before they had even left the yard on 5th May.

Paige had just shut the ramp after loading her New Forest-cross Charlie, with his stable-mate Guinness, when he panicked as the top door was being closed.

“He is a dream to load and travel,” said Paige. “But [on Monday] he jumped over the front partition halfway into the changing/storage area.”

Paige and Guinness’s owner Jane Pay tried to calm Charlie down to no avail. He pulled a chunk of Jane’s hair out, and some skin from Paige’s arm.

“He was thrashing about and pawing his front feet in the air as he made it over the partition,” said Paige, who was “removed from the scene” with Jane by friends at the yard due to shock. “Before we knew it, he was stuck.”

The vet and a 15-strong team from Horley fire brigade arrived 45mins later and Charlie was sedated in order for the firemen to cut the lorry open to free him.

[Equihunter] Our latest project is about to roll off of the production line next week destined for a well known riding school based in Essex.

Equihunter Arena 3.5t Horsebox in cream with green and gold trim

The Equihunter Arena 3.5t Horsebox in cream with green and gold trim

This build is finished to our customer specific instructions and is completed in a beautiful rich cream paint made by BMW called “Pepper White”, with green and gold trim that matches the corporate logo of the riding school.

This Arena is built upon a 2011 Fiat Ducato chassis with only 38,000 miles on the clock.

We’ve also added special features like internal LED lighting with blue night running lights as we have on our 7.5 tonne Equihunter Endurance lorry.

dsc_5553

As fitted to the Equihunter Endurance

This ensures that the horses benefit from having a lit journey during the hours of darkness, but can also see out through the windows at assign traffic, and thus are less likely to be spooked but the sudden appearance of other vehicles headlights.

Other features include LED down lighters mounted above the rear door plus another set of LED down lights mounted high up on the drivers side of the vehicle to light the tie up area for those late evenings preparing to return home after dusk has fallen.

 

Here’s a gallery of images to show this Arena off….

 

….. the only things still to be completed are some finishing touches in the cab, the passenger seats are just about be to be delivered after being re-covered in cream vinyl and the bulkhead wall liner needs finishing. Apart from that, we’re ready to ‘rock and roll’
