About us.
Eric Gillie Ltd was formed in 1975 by Eric and Jane Gillie, with one second hand Horsebox. As the business grew and the workload increased an additional vehicle was added. The business is now into its third generation of family, in 2005 we celebrated our 30th anniversary in the transportation of horses making our business one of the oldest firms under original ownership in the United Kingdom.
We have 24 stables (external and internal) within our Kelso yard. All the up to date stables have rubber flooring and rubber sides. The rubber has recently been added to every stable to ensure comfort and safety for your horse/pony whilst in transit and our care. We feel the rubber flooring and sides reduces the risk of infection due to the constant cleanliness. All stables are fitted with automatic water drinking bowls, but additional water buckets are used to monitor horses/ponies water intake. We also have 4 small turnout paddocks and 1 claydon playpen. Our paddocks are post and rail with electric fencing to enable horses/ponies to stretch their legs whilst in transit if need be.
We have a specially designed loading ramp to ensure the safety of your horse/pony whilst being loaded and unloaded. Due to the restrictions on drivers hours and the welfare of horse/pony we have numerous stabling facilities all over the county to allow us to keep within the law and this also reduces the stress of ravelling a long distance. We have made this a company policy for a stress free journey.
All stabling points whether it be a stud, equestrian centre or other approved lairage yards are carefully chosen by the family for their cleanliness, safety and security and only the very best are used. No matter where our vehicles are in the country, they are always within reasonable reach of one of these stabling yards.
