Caryl, check with your client. Explain a difference between ‘equestrian equipment’ and ‘'equipment for mounted troops' (wyposażenie jazdy/konnicy) and see which way they want to go.

lukeg_1 Aug 3, 2006:

no, there is nothing in 'artykuły jeździeckie' to relate it to military. They may mean that, but basicly it is not related to the military only! Artykuły jeżdzieckie to equestrian equipment . Period.

Caryl Swift (asker) Aug 3, 2006:

Yes, I agree, lukeg - but they only deal with military equipment, so does my suggestion above - 'equipment for mounted troops' make sense as a translation?

lukeg_1 Aug 3, 2006:

Seems they offer equestrian equipment (for sale/rent) and also rent military vehicles; only that makes sense.

Adrian, right now I don't need a horse or a jeep, I need a linguistic Pegasus . . .

FishX Aug 3, 2006:

well if you're on a horse you don't need a jeep, do you? I think it's clear case of check with client, as you say.

Caryl Swift (asker) Aug 3, 2006:

Or would this be something like:
'equipment for mounted troops'?

Caryl Swift (asker) Aug 3, 2006:

Ok - I can see that I'm going to have to check with the client . . .

lukeg_1 Aug 3, 2006:

Adrian's right...and for equestrian equipment :)

Caryl Swift (asker) Aug 3, 2006:

Again, mea culpa for a badly-worded question - the kind of things listed are ambulances, motorcycles, jeeps etc.

Caryl Swift (asker) Aug 3, 2006:

My fault - I didn't explain properly What I have in mind at the moment is:

Transport equipment

We hire out military vehicles such as:

A,B,C,D etc.

Yes, of course, vehicles - that's what I thought from the beginning-but probably tiredness wiped it from my mind when I wrote the question. What I'm asking is this - is 'transport equipment' an adequate translation of 'artykuły jeździeckie' - and BTW, I don't think the company hires out horses . . . :-)

FishX Aug 3, 2006:

am I missing something? What about the horses? And personally I would go for vehicles rather than transport, by the way.
