Thank you for looking at our web page for our Equine Transportation service. We began our service as a way to ensure that the horses we were selling to our clients arrived at their destination in good shape. We now have several phenomenal horse people that are hauling - all having 15-20 years experience hauling and handling horses.
We try to take exemplary care of the horses that haul with us. This would include hay and water and a small salt block at all times; frequent rest stops (every 3 hours for at minimum 1/2 hour) and constant checking to ensure that the horses are traveling safely and well.
We are a breeder of sporthorses and take extra care when hauling horses for anyone.
The trailer on the West Coast trips is a newer 7 horse slant load Warmblood sized trailer with a rear ramp for easy loading and to the floor stall dividers (see above). The stalls are extra wide and extra tall, windows at both the front and back of each of the stalls. The trailers have extra matting for leg comfort and we bed the stalls deeply in shavings. On this length of trip the horses are kept untied for greater comfort and ease of balance as well as whenever possible, the horses are given double stalls (small box stalls) in order to also make them as comfortable as possible at no extra charge. The East Coast Trailer is a new 4-horse Warmblood sized trailer with a rear loading ramp and slant load dividers that can be easily removed to make two very nice sized box stalls. On site we have a 2-horse, a 3-horse and a 6 horse also that can be used for short hauls.
Stan, the primary driver has been hauling show horses for over 20 years and takes extremely good care of them while they are in his care. We carry full insurance on our trailering loads, including care custody and control. We accept Visa/MC/American Express and Discover cards and we also accept Paypal that allows all manner of credit cards, checking accounts etc... We require 1/2 down and the balance due in cash upon delivery.
Our drivers are completely accessible via cellular phone and will make frequent calls if needed. They will also call prior to dropping off to ensure that it is a convenient time on the receiving end.
We would appreciate the opportunity to work with you and we would ensure that your animal had the most comfortable ride possible.
If you have questions regarding our hauling service; or if you would like us to quote a haul for you, please send me an email or call us - we would be delighted with the opportunity to work with you.

For people interested in breeding to our stallions who would prefer live cover or on site a.i. - we make an effort to fit you into our hauling runs on the trips back and give FABULOUS rates allowing for your mare to come to our facility to be bred.
