Also, provide a halter, lead rope and one bale of hay per horse. This way your horse(s) have the
feed that they are accustomed to. If your horse(s) has/have special needs, please feel free to write
them out for us, along with any other special instructions. We want to give your horse(s) the best
possible care.
A deposit of half down is required, with the balance to be paid upon delivery. We accept cashier’s
checks, money orders and …yes, even cash.
Being horse owners ourselves, we know how stressful this time can be for you and your horse(s).
We strive to make this the easiest transition possible. We will be happy to keep you informed of
our progress during the entire trip, if you like. And, feel free to call at anytime day or night if you
have any questions or concerns.
I would like to personally thank you, in advance, for allowing us to assist you with your horse
transport needs.
* Do not overfeed your horse the day before, or on the day of the trip.
* Do not feed the horse anything that that he/she is not used to eating (high protein or high fat
feeds, brans, oils, etc). It is better to keep the horse on the same feeding routine because even in a
horse’s own environment these changes in feeding can cause digestive problems. He/she will be
just fine with the hay and feed given during the trip.
* During the summer months it is recommended to give the horse additional electrolytes for a
couple of days prior to a trip and continue for a couple of days after.
After the Trip
* You should mildly exercise the horse (a brisk walk around the pasture). The horse is usually a
little stiff after a trip (I’m sure you would be too if you were standing for a long period of time).
* Please DO NOT just place the horse in a stall after a lengthy trip.
* The horse is, and has just gone through a lot of changes (traveling, new pasture or barn,
different water, new herd mates, etc) and that alone for some horses can cause colic.
* The horse should NOT BE OVERFED for any reason!! You should divide their feeding into two or
three feedings for the first day or two, with added electrolytes for a couple of days, and given as
much water as possible (flavored or warm water if you have to). Keep an eye on your horse for a
few days after their arrival and watch for any signs of odd or unusual behavior.
