Giddy-up


Some of the hardest things to transport are items that are meant to move in ordinary use but can’t be allowed to move in transport.

Rocking horses are a case in point.   I mean the sort that have large semi-circular rockers with loose tack, flowing tails and manes.  

It can cost much more than people think by the time you pad out the rockers to prevent movement, protect the tail and mane with suitable wrapping and stop the loose tack moving and scratching anything else.

But the best bit is arranging delivery to a home as a surprise Christmas present even though it meant employing drivers and their helpers capable and willing to sneak in to premises late at night (with the owner’s permission of course!), break open the crate (without making a sound), unpack the rocking horse in silence, clear away every trace of packing materials and quietly drive away.  

The photo of the happy family is all the thanks needed!
