Strong lead and the clearest shared-load operator in this batch: explicitly advertises 'local, long-distance and shared loads'. Trades as P & S Rawlings Horse Transport Ltd, 60 years in business, based at Bath BA1 7DD. Covers Bath, Bristol, Somerset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Dorset, Devon, Cornwall, Hampshire 'and further afield'. Also offers livery, overnight stabling and storage. Claims a 100% loading success rate. EU/Ireland work is not advertised, so international left blank rather than 'no'.
