APHA Type 2 verified

Authorisation verified

This company appears on the Animal and Plant Health Agency list of Type 2 (Long Journey) Authorised Transporters, published monthly under the Open Government Licence. Type 2 is the authorisation required for commercial journeys over eight hours, which is the tier most horse owners should be checking for and almost never do.

Verification reflects the published register at that date and is not an endorsement by Hoofline or by APHA. Ask to see the certificate before you book, and check that the driver and any attendant hold a Certificate of Competence.

Before you book

Ask which authorisation they hold, Type 1 or Type 2, and match it to your journey time.
Ask whether you are the only pickup. The eight-hour clock starts at the first loading, not yours.
For anything over eight hours, ask about the vehicle approval certificate and individual partitions.
For a border crossing, ask whether they hold EU-issued transport documentation. A UK authorisation is not recognised in the EU.

Plan your journey first so you know which of these apply.
