We will once again be exhibiting the Theault Proteo horse truck at Magic Millions Sales from 26 May to 8 June 2010. We look forward to welcoming you to take a look around.
Come and visit us at the Sydney CDI 29 April-1 May and the Week of Equestrian World Cups 7-9 May, both at the Sydney International Equestrian Centre.
Freedman Bros PTY Ltd of Rye, 3941 Vic became THEAULT's first Australian customer taking delivery of their new Proteo horse truck in November 2009. 3-months on we asked racing manager Sam Pritchard-Gordon how they were finding it.
"The horsebox is a great asset to our stable" says Sam "It relieves us from the dependence upon floating companies as our foreman can now drive the horses to the races; in a game where seconds count knowing that your runners are travelling in the utmost comfort and quickest time surely gives us an edge on our competitors. Furthermore our horses are stepping off the truck fresh and free from sweat as the ventilation is clevely thought out by Theault".
It also grants us huge flexibility. From sending horses to the beach or sending a foreman on an interstate trip it ensures that we are managing our time, staff and horses in the best possible manner. It is also an incredibly cost effective vehicle - $120 bucks of fuel gets you almost 1000km of travel and it drives as comfortably as a car".
"In short we just wish that we had one before".
Theault Australia PTY Ltd wish the team a Freedman Bros ongoing success and comfortable travelling.
A demonstration vehicle is available, please call for further details.
All of the team at Theault would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
THEAULT AUSTRALIA will make our first appearance in Queensland for the Magic Millions Yearling Sales from January 6 - 10 2010.
On display will be the THEAULT PROTEO compact horsebox featuring low-level side-loading ramp, rear-facing travel orientation for the horses and sliding adjustable partition.
PROTEO is already the most popular horsebox of it's type with racehorse trainers and breeders throughout Europe. The first to arrive in Australia is now owned by Freedman Bros PTY Ltd. "The horsebox is a great asset to our stable" Says Sam Prichard-Gordon, Racing Manager for Freedman Bros, "It relieves us from depending upon floating companies as our foreman can now drive the horses to the races; in a game where seconds count, knowing not only that your runners are travelling in the utmost comfort but in the quickest time surely gives us an edge on our competitors. Furthermore, our horses are stepping off the float fresh and free from sweat as the ventilation is cleverly thought out by Theault."
"It also grants us huge flexibility. From sending horses to the beach or sending a foreman on an Interstate trip, it ensures that we are managing our time, staff and horses in the best possible manner. To add to this it is an incredibly cost-efficient vehicle - $120 bucks of fuel gets you almost 1000km of travel and it drives as kindly as a car."
"In short we just wish we had one before."
Our Sales & Development manager Kevin Blake will be onhand to demonstrate the great benefits of PROTEO to visitors at Magic Millions.
Theault will be represented at the Saddleworld Dressage Festival, Werribee Park National Equestrian Centre, Vic 3030 10-13 December 2009 by Manfred Dobrow alongside Boeckmann Australia.
On show will be the Theault Proteo compact 2-stall horsebox, a completely new concept to horse transport in Australia.
The Proteo features lightweight, low side-loading ramp and sliding rail partition allowing the horse space to be adjusted as required quickly and easily. Horses travel in rear-facing orientation, a concept which research has shown provides horses with the least stressful and most balanced travel. In Europe this concept has become the most popular format for small horseboxes.
The lower vehicle level and distribution of the horse's weight between rather than over the axles gives the Theault Proteo excellent stability. This small, compact vehicle is easy to drive and manoeuvre.
We look forward to welcoming you to view the Theault Proteo at Werribee.
