We live the same lifestyle as our customers. We know your best friends and fellow athletes are in our care and we don't take the responsibility lightly. That's why we take care of every horse that sets foot on our trailers as if they were our own.
Horses that ride with us have access to good quality hay and freshwater 24/7 with nightly layovers. We make sure the ride is as smooth and as comfortable as possible for your four-legged family members.
We only allow clean loads (no horse under our care is headed to the kill pen) and with decades of experience, we can provide excellent references.

Thank you so much and would definitely let anyone know that needs a horse transportation."

"THANK YOU!! Arlene picked up my new reining horse from a facility in Weatherford TX last month and took to her ranch. Maggie had to spend a week with her because of weather. Arlene was awesome at keeping in communication with us. When Maggie arrived, she was safe and sound! For a 2 year old coming off a trailer from across the country being calm, cool, collected….. says everything on the hauler!!! I highly recommend her and I WILL be a repeat customer!! THANK YOU!!"

A.J. I want to thank you for taking GREAT care of my new colt, Red. For those of you who don't know, A.J. picked up my new horse for me, quarantined him, and then drove him from TX to CA once he was cleared for travel. She did a WONDERFUL job from beginning to end and I am SO thankful for her help. I felt like she was honest and fair about everything and sent me regular pictures and updates of him. He arrived in better condition than she got him and I was very happy with how he was hauled. He arrived in northern California two days ago and there wasn't a scratch on him after three days of being on the road with her. I really appreciated that she did overnights with him and made sure he had food and water 24/7 and also stopped to check on him every few hours during shipping. I would definitely trust A.J. to haul and care for another horse if I end up getting one from Texas again. Thank you A.J. for helping me help Red and for getting him home safely!🙏

Aj Osmond my husband Cary and I want to thank you for superior services in transportation of both our horses Sorella and Hunter. When Sorella (a Mustang fresh out of her TIP training) was first purchased I searched high and low for an affordable transporter with quality reviews since reviews were all I could go off at the time. It was an extensive drive and I was nervous but that was put to rest immediately when the doors opened and I saw my girl absolutely perfect. No signs of sweating from nerves showing her 8+hour ride was comfortable. No signs of dehydration on top of her not even caring for her water when in her new pen showing she was offered water more than once, not a scratch on her and clean bedding. Coming off the trailer she was absolutely calm showing again that her ride was comfortable and safe ensuring she had nothing to run away from or out of. The trailer itself was in great condition and clean. Very loved and taken care of properly, the customer service provided as well as top notch transportation was phenomenal. Which brings brings us to Hunter (another freshly TIP trained Mustang) a few years later. I had no doubt who I was going to for his trip home to us and though I was working my husband was the one who was home for Hunters arrival and he raved about how amazing Hunter looked coming off and how calm he was just as Sorella was; when I got home he was in just as perfect condition as when I first saw Sorella. If ever needed I will always reach out to you in a heartbeat every time. You are my number one equine transportation without hesitation. Thank you a million times over for bringing my babies and making the experience a hard 5 ⭐️. You are beyond appreciated.
