We have been horse people for 20+ years. After "retiring", our driver Phil chose to start a  different kind of horse transport business. He treats every horse he trucks as his own for the few days they are on the road together.  As a smaller carrier, we don't see patience and attention as inefficiency, nor do we view your horse is a "head per loaded mile". We cater every detail of the trip to your needs, from how we clean our trailer to how comfortable your horse is en route. We provide every horse the same individual attention we give our own. If you count your horse as "stock", we're probably not right for you. If you expect nothing but the best in terms of horse knowledge, handling, and care, then send us an email. 

Trip and Trailer Info

A Look at the Equipment

  • A roomy and comfortable 24' long x 8' wide x 7'6" high stock trailer
  • Frequent water, feed, and stretch / exercise breaks
  • Adjustable box stalls with rolling gates accommodate horses of all sizes
  • We make sure the loading, travel, and arrival are stress free for both the horse and owner. Watch Phil load a nervous horse here .
  • We transport horses loose, allowing them to chose how and where to stand. No halters or ropes getting snagged or wrapped around the horse. 
  • The doors to the trailer are locked. Phil carries an extra set of keys and bolt cutters. 
  • At night, we will open the interior gates in the trailer to allow the horse to move around in the trailer. 
  • Large trailer windows allow for plenty of  fresh air and light (see pictures). These can be closed in colder or inclement weather. 
  • The trailer is cleaned with a pressure washer, hot water, soap, and bleach after and / or prior to every trip. There are no concerns about unsanitary or unsightly conditions.
  • Both the truck and trailer are maintained and serviced on a regular strict schedule and fully compliant with D.O.T. safety standards
  • Individual or private group charter trips available
  • Most importantly, we give you the transportation options and individual attention other carriers can't.

Important Info

  • Copies may be accepted for in other routes. The current Coggins Test and Health Certificate must be provided at the time of pick-up of the horse(s) and will accompany the horse(s) to the final destination.
  • Questionable Coggins Tests will not be accepted. 
  • These state and federal requirements are subject to change. Confirm your states requirements here.
