Police horse truck

Did anyone else see the police horse truck travelling north on the m1 from.jct 2 around 13.00

I was going south on.opostie carriage there was 4 police bike outsiders lights flashing behind them a police range rover.
Then a gap then a police horse truck.
Yes it was a horse truck not a prison van
Then behind that 2 more police bikes.
Anyone any ideas?didn’t think.horses were that valuable

Obviously you have no knowledge of horses.
They can cost a small fortune depending what they are used for,breeding, show jumping ,dressage,racing,eventing or just hacking and local show jumping ,plus age is taken into consideration for a really good horse skies the limit on price
I have paid £180 for a young unbroken pony £2000 for a 9 year old and £1600 for a 5 year old

If i had to take a punt my money would go on they were maybe transporting the horses/s of a certain Royal Princess, maybe she was in the box too. (The front part obviously :smiley: ).

It sounds like horses are the wrong way round. So you pay a small fee for a youngster with loads of miles on the clock, and a fortune for a knackered old one which is likely to cost a fortune in repairs.

Did someone try to claim “its a classic” and wack on a premium which is dealer shorthand for “will never work properly”.

As for the horse truck, was thinking it could be Camilla Parker Horse-features on an official visit.

Did the 2k one get police escorted everywhere?

perhaps they were en route to the vets to have the ■■■■■■■■ that are normally halfway up their back removed and refitted in the correct place on their rears?
most likely just getting tooled up for a big match or race riot pending in the inner city ghettos of modern diversified middle england.

Would guess a big drug haul, or something, and it’s too big for a van.

Where would her back part be then?
Still in the pantomime changing rooms?

Sorry, mate.[emoji5]

Seriously though, it’s probably an undercover operation.

Hard to believe but the Police pay little or nothing for their remounts and they only take a donated horse on appro. because if it turns out unsuitable after a trial period they just return it to the doner. This was the case in the 80’s because I offered them one of my cast off’s but Lancashire Police weren’t looking for any at the time. They contacted me about 3 months later asking if I still had the horse available, sorry Lads it’s long gone ! But it would have made a great Police horse as it was “bomb proof” but useless for what I needed. Cheers Bewick.

A classic can go on to produce little horses; try breeding a Jaguar XJ with a Mini Cooper and see what you get…:slight_smile:
